Russian-American Company Flag – Alaska Colonial Trade Banner – 3'x5' Nylon

Uncover a lesser-known chapter of North American history with the Russian-American Company Flag, flown during Russia’s colonial expansion into Alaska from 1799 to 1867. This flag symbolized the Russian-American Company (RAC), a government-chartered monopoly that managed trade, exploration, and settlement across what is now Alaska and parts of the Pacific Northwest.

The design is a variation of the Russian imperial naval ensign, typically featuring a white field with a blue St. Andrew’s cross, sometimes adorned with the company’s double-headed eagle or imperial crest in the canton—marking it as both a commercial and national symbol of Tsarist Russia.

This flag was flown over forts, trading posts, and ships operating in Russian America and represents the presence of Orthodox Christian missions, fur trade outposts, and Russian cultural influence in the Americas before the Alaska Purchase.
