Flag missing on British ship sparks brief incident at Mystic docks
A keen-eyed observer noted the American flag was absent from decorations on the British steamship Ernemore at Pier 50 Mystic docks. Captain Venning quickly borrowed a flag from the navy yard and raised it at the main truck. The issue prompted protests from a customs official and an American Legion member, but was resolved as British and American ships alike decorated for Independence Day and masthead flags were flown.
