Which country features a shipwreck on its national flag?

British overseas territorial flag consisting of a red field with the Union Jack in the upper hoist corner and, at the fly end, a badge bearing the Bermudian coat of arms—a shield bearing a lion holding a smaller gold-bordered shield that depicts a sinking ship; the flag may be described as a defaced British Red Ensign.

The British ship Sea Venture, carrying some 150 colonists bound for Virginia, was shipwrecked on shoals off Bermuda during a hurricane in 1609. A stylization of the scene—in which a ship in raging seas appears to be crashing into a cliff—was incorporated into the island’s first coat of arms, granted in 1635. The current coat of arms was granted to the colony of Bermuda on October 4, 1910.
