Quite simple actually. Below the Red Ensign:

Cutty Sark herself is identified by four signal flags from the International Code of Signals. The code is a series of flags, each one representing a letter of the alphabet, which is used by ships for communication between ships and from ship to shore. Signal letters are the four letters assigned to every ship as a means of identification and are known as the ship’s “number”. For Cutty Sark these flags represent the letters JKWS, referencing the owner’s name JocK WilliS.
