Ely Sailing Club (ESC) was
founded in 1946 on the banks of a disused clay pit.
The burgee of ESC is red with three yellow keys. I am not sure of the real
placement of the keys since the source shows the burgee drawn "floating".
I guess that the three yellow keys on the red background allude to the arms of
the See of Ely. "Gules, three crowns Or", is first found being used by Bishop
William of Louth (or William de Luda), the twelfth Bishop of Ely, in 1290. They
are the arms attributed to Saint Etheldreda, who died long before heraldry
began, and are a differenced version of the arms attributed to the Kings of
East
Anglia (azure three crowns Or).Ivan Sache, 15 July 2006
Their web pages show a burgee
logo with the middle key higher; their pdf documents show a burgee logo with the
middle key lower.
