Description

Luganville is the second largest city in the Republic of Vanuatu and is located on the island of Espiritu Santo. The population is 10,738. Luganville is one of Vanuatu's busiest ports, especially as a transshipment point for copra and cacao. Segond Channel, the body of water off the coast of Luganville behind Aore Island, provides the town with an excellent sheltered harbour.

Here the flag description (in Spanish):
Según la fotografía la bandera de Luganville está compuesta de dos tríangulos, amarillo al asta abajo y negro al vuelo, arriba. Los triángulos están eparados por cuatro franjas diagonales de colores, blanco, rojo, azul y verde. Sobre el color amarillo va colocado una especie de pedestal de tres columnas, que corresponde a un dibujo estilizado del techo del ayuntamiento, y sobre el negro una canoa melanesia vista de lado, en blanco, simbolo de arribada en una embarcación de la gente que constituyó la población de Luganville.

According to the photo, the flag of Luganville is made of two triangles, yellow in lower hoist and black in upper fly. The triangles are separated by four diagonal stripes, white, red, blue and green. On the yellow panel is placed a kind of three-columned pedestal, corresponding to the stylized drawing of the town hall; on the black panel is placed a Melanesian canoe seen from aside, white, as the symbol of the arrival in such a boat of the early settlers of Luganville.
