Flag of Mandatory Palestine

The first High Commissioner Herbert Samuel considered introducing an official flag for Palestine, but found it impossible to come up with a design that would satisfy the diverging interests of all the inhabitants.

The maritime ensign was introduced in 1927 with the following notice.Flag to be flown by Palestinian vessels.It is hereby notified that a Warrant has been issued by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty authorising the Red Ensign of His Majesty's Fleet defaced on the fly thereof by the word "Palestine" in a white circular field to be used on board vessels belonging to inhabitants of Palestine.

[citation needed] In 1934 The National Geographic Magazine published a photo of a flag[8] flown by a schooner named Emanuel[9]- the single vessel owned by the Palestine-based, Zionist-oriented Hofiya Shipping Company,[10] then on her maiden voyage.

Palestine, under British mandate, has a badge, but its Jewish population has created this flag of their own -- Solomon's seal on a field of blue and white.

"[8] A few months after the photo's publication the Emanuel was lost with all hands in the North Sea,[9] putting an end to the Hofiya Company.
