White Ensign use?

I observe that the MY Steve Irwin in a photo in this article appears to be flying the White Ensign. I am not an expert on English maritime law but it is my understanding that use of the White Ensign is restricted for civilian vessels. If so, is Sea Shepherd's use of it noteworthy? Perhaps this was a form of protest?

I have no idea. Based on the White Ensign article, Sea Shepherd probably shouldn't be using it, but I can't imagine why they are doing so.

Nice photo, by the way. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:11, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a courtesy flag. Rama (talk) 21:43, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What Rama said. An ensign is the national flag flown on a vessel to indicate citizenry. The ensign is the largest flag, generally flown at the stern (rear) of the ship while in port. In this case they are flying the Dutch ensign. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.243.130.183 (talk) 10:59, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

The tone of this article is biased and should be re-written. "Self Described" is used as a pejorative in the context of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.196.122.198 (talk) 22:07, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
