A U.S. Coast Guard ensign from the Lifeboat Station In 1799, Congress authorized cutters and boats to be "distinguished from other vessels by an ensign and pennant." In August of that year, Treasury Secretary Wolcott prescribed that the "ensign and pennant’’ should consist of "sixteen perpendicular stripes, alternate red and white, the union of the ensign to be the arms of the United States in dark blue on a white field." There were sixteen states in the Union at that time. |
