Original flag flown by the 'Discovery', stored at the Royal Museums Greenwich.. In 1929, members of the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition on RRS Discovery used white cotton sheeting to improvise a courtesy ensign (a flag used as a token of respect by vessels while in foreign waters) for a continent without a flag of its own.
The British Ensign in a few cases have backgrounds of other colours (e.g. British Antarctic Territory and Niue) or a unique pattern in the field (e.g. British Indian Ocean Territory and Hawaii). Some flags put the Union Jack somewhere other than the canton (e.g. British Columbia ).
