tegater 789 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 If its flown of the jack on a ship. and why is it called a Jack, or a jack staff........................because the union jack is flown from it! The flag came first, and it was decreed in parliament the union jack would be the official name. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
