Description

Royal Victorian Motor Yacht Club.

Established Williamstown, Melbourne, 1904.
Initially named the Victorian Launch Club, later changed to Victorian Motor Boat Club.
18 February 1937. Granted title �royal�. Perhaps �Boat� was changed to �Yacht� at this time ?
24 November 20007. Warrant for plain Blue Ensign.
Blue burgee: pale yellow (or white ?) cross, red propeller in upper hoist, five point white star in lower hoist.

This was the first plain Blue Ensign to be awarded to a yacht club, that was not connected to one of the armed forces, since 1924.
