The plaque from the above photo. There are obviously two of these burgees' as another is located in the entrance of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron's clubhouse on the north shore of Sydney Harbour. The Sydney burgee was donated to the the RSYS in 1966 by Chichester, in recognition of the assistance the club had provided to him during his six-week stay in Sydney.
