Commodore Perry Flag – “Don’t Give Up the Ship” Naval Banner (1813) – 3'x5' Nylon

Product Description:

Sail into American naval legend with the Commodore Perry Flag, bearing the defiant motto “Don’t Give Up the Ship.” This battle cry was famously emblazoned on the personal battle flag of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, flown during the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813, in the War of 1812.

The phrase was a tribute to the dying words of Captain James Lawrence, who uttered them aboard the USS Chesapeake earlier that year. Perry had the words stitched onto a navy blue banner and raised it aboard his flagship Lawrence, inspiring his crew to victory in one of America’s most critical naval engagements.

This flag continues to be a symbol of resilience, leadership, and patriotism in the face of overwhelming odds—perfect for veterans, naval history buffs, and those who never back down.
