Isle of Purbeck Yacht Club (UK)
Estb. 1875.
Location: Isle of Purbeck,
Dorset, UK.
Burgee: Pennant 1:2. Field quartered Black (upper hoist/lower
fly) and Red (lower hoist/upper fly), quarters centred 1 unit from hoist. Upper
hoist quarter superimposed by a Yellow swan.
Ref: Lloyd's Register of Yachts,
1882.

The same burgee was already included in the 1881 Lloyd's register, the first
one to have a register for yacht clubs, but 1882 was the first to list the
establishing date.
British yachts fly the national maritime flag
(undefaced red ensign), and indeed they did so already in 1881. Flaggenbuch 1905
agrees that it does so. However, 1890 was the last year Lloyd's still listed the
Isle of Purbeck. Either the club close down, or they no longer included any
yacht of a size worth mentioning.

The (German) Flaggenbuch 1905 states that the red ensign is used without
badge (i.e. undefaced) by different yacht clubs based on a warrant and lists
this yacht club as using the red ensign.
