Canadian Flag circa 1957 to 1965. Donning the Canadian red ensign and the union jack.
This flag was flown on the ship the M.V. Clifford J. Rogers. It was the last flag to fly as "the Canadian Flag" on the ship.
Completed in 1955, the Clifford J. Rogers was one of the first ships built with intermodal, or containerized, transport in mind. She would spend her decades of service carrying supplies up north to Alaska and the Yukon, returning with ores and raw materials.
More advanced sister ships to the Clifford J. Rogers would push her out of the limelight, being sold in 1967 and eventually sinking in 1975 off the coast of North Carolina.
