Unidentified 119

Raffaele Corsini’s painting shows Bezaleel under H. Morgan entering Smyrna Bay in 1864, with a Red Ensign and a quartered house flag: red with yellow R at upper hoist, yellow with red H at upper fly, blue with an uncertain yellow symbol below the hoist, and red with yellow S at lower fly. Mike Turner suggested a fish for the symbol; Rosanoski considered an ampersand more logical. James Dignan’s Royal Standard comparison and Royal expansion of R are expressly guesses. Rosanoski tentatively identifies an 1856 Salcombe-built Bezaleel, wrecked in 1884 under William Mackay and master William Francis Weymouth; if the same ship, the flag may represent earlier owners.
