HOWLAND & ASPINWALL.

The flag was still recorded as Lloyd Aspinwall’s private signal in Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts for 1972.
Loughran specifically distinguishes the second and third quarters. Rosanoski initially wondered whether this was a misinterpretation of South Street’s description of white quarters with narrow blue lines forming squares and a white cross. A painting of Sea Witch confirms H284, using a lighter blue, though the painting’s United States ensign canton is also lighter.
