Perth Yacht Club established 1865.
1882. P Y C in
white on blue burgee.
19 May 1890. Granted title �royal�. The club website
says that �at the same time it was announced that the Lords of the Admiralty had
granted the Club the Royal Warrant to fly an undefaced Blue ensign.� This may
have been a misunderstanding as on 13 March 1903 the Administrator at Government
House wrote to the Admiralty requesting a Blue Ensign for the Royal Perth Yacht
Club. A reply dated 24 March 1903 indicated that it was intended that a warrant
would be issued, and that individual applicants for warrants should apply
through the Club Secretary.
[National Archives ADM 1/7670]
1891. At a
General meeting it was decided to replace the existing burgee with a white
burgee bearing a red St George�s cross with a crown in the upper canton.
