At this website is a presentation
of the EU-flag with some scribbling on it, and on the background is the
vertical hanging flag of Elblag city, just as the doctor (Pascal Vagnat)
ordered.

Znamierowski, 'The World Encyclopedia of Flags', 1999, shows
several interesting flags of the Port Cities of northern Europe.
These are derived from gonfanons, originally red in color. The flags,
in a banner form, were flown from the stern of the vessels, the mast carrying
the gonfanon of the colors. The flag of Elbląg (Elbing) dates from the
14th century.
