Before Lloyd's Yacht Register for 1900-1901, was Lloyd's Yacht Register for
1887-1894. It shows a burgee quartered red and blue by a narrow white cross
throughout. And an ensign with a canton according to that same pattern, with a
white cross over all. I don't know whether that was an illegal ensign or whether
it somehow was somehow reregistered in 1895. But that is when Lloyd's first
registered it with the double cross.
