These flags have been called "Grand Union," "Great Union," "Continental Colours," "Congress Flag," "Cambridge Flag," or "First Navy Ensigns." It was the first flag adopted on 3 Dec. 1775, based on the "red union" flag of Great Britain (Union Jack canton, red field).  It was first hoisted and saluted on 4 January 1776. This flag was replaced 14 June 1777.
