I may be incorrect in this (those with more and better knowledge of the topic please correct me), but as I understand it: In Signalling via flag, Instructions or Orders to individual ships are flown from the Port foremost yardarm, whereas Instructions or Orders to the entire Squadron or Fleet are flown from the foremost Starboard yardarm.
This was the case in the Royal Navy up to and including WW2, and I have no reason to believe the US Navy would have been very different in this in the preceding century. Corey, it is really good to see you designing and building again My Friend. Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell.

When preparing the signal flags for my USS Commodore Perry I found that there were no particular standards in the USS navy during the Civil War. Each Admiral and/or Commodore (as well as Generals where the Army had control of the boats/ships.) had their own methods for signals and they were frequently changed so that the CSS Navy/Army couldn't use the signals from the USS boats and ships. I used a prototype photo of the Perry and rigged flags accordingly. The actual artwork for my flags was 19th century English because I found crisp artwork. I hope I haven't signaled something icky!
