Commodore Perry's Flag Postcard

As Captain James Lawrence lay dying on the USS Chesapeake during the War of 1812, his last command was "Don't give up the ship!" Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, in command of the USS Niagara took these words to heart and had them sewn onto the ensign of that ship. VEXILLOPHILE offers flat flags and waving, usually available with the name of the place -- often in the native language as well as English! Of course, if you'd rather leave them guessing, you can get your flags plain! So be sure to look over our designs before making your final selection!
