Ottoman Galleon flagWhen in 1518 the famous corsair Hayreddin Barbarossa became an admiral of the Ottoman Navy, he introduced several changes in the Ottoman naval flags, establishing definite guidelines and patterns that would long last. This way, long range merchant galleons were assigned a plain red flag, sometimes complemented by a green horizontal stripe to denote a «Haji» captain –that is, one having fulfilled the pilgrimage to Mecca.
