"The Danish are coming!" just doesn't have the same ring to it..

weirder is why they have a union jack on the Mayflower? the Union Jack was designed in the 19th century! As for the danish flag, the companion ship came from Holland, they must have been crazy to carry a danish flag on the ship

Well, tbh, the funny thing is the flag they should have shown on the Mayflower is similar to the US flag, as it consists of red and white bars with top left corner an english flag (white background, red cross)

I checked and there is no flag on old paintings of the Mayflower, but I only checked a few and they are probably only the artists impression of how they thought the ship looked like. :D
