The burgee isn't pictured. In the American Yacht List 1874 it's pictured as the pennant. On the web site of the NYYC (www.nyyc.com) it says about the adoption of the burgee:
"The club's first annual meeting took place at Windhams Tavern on March 17, 1845, during which the membership
elected a full slate of officers. Commodore Stevens was reelected; Vice Commodore was Hamilton Wilkes; Corresponding Secretary, George B. Rollins; Recording Secretary, John C. Jay; Treasurer, William Edgar. These officers directed the Secretary to design a club burgee, and the present distinctive burgee of a red cross with a white star in the center on a dark blue background was adopted the following June."

Judging from the website, currently the burgee looks to be a very dark blue field with a red cross throughout with on its centre a white five-pointed star.
