Serapis Flag – John Paul Jones Naval Battle Flag – 3'x5' Nylon

Fly the battle flag that defied convention and flew in victory. The Serapis Flag is one of the most fascinating and unique banners of the American Revolution, made famous by Captain John Paul Jones during his legendary naval battle against the British frigate HMS Serapis on September 23, 1779.

After capturing the Serapis during the brutal Battle of Flamborough Head, Jones raised this hastily designed flag aboard the captured ship to identify himself as a legitimate combatant under the American cause. Because the Stars and Stripes had not yet been consistently standardized, this unique flag featured 13 red, white, and blue stripes and eight-pointed stars—a bold improvised variation of the American colors.

The Serapis Flag is a powerful representation of American ingenuity, maritime grit, and the unbreakable resolve of the Continental Navy.
