The complete image shows the brigg ELITE from Blankenese (today Hamburg) in 1862. There are the flags/pennnants hoisted:
-foremast: white flag divided by red saltire (probably the houseflag)
-mainmast: red name pennant cotised white with ship´s name upon
-mizzenmast: Danish ensign with cypher
Probably the ship was trading with the mediterranian (cypher as distinguishing mark to Knights of Malta, although those had been already history then). Can somebody assist in
order to identify the houseflag?
