Commodore Perry Flag – Dont Give Up the Ship Flag – Captain James Lawrence Flag
Size: 3×5 feet
The flag known as “Don’t Give Up the Ship” began as a personal tribute by Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry to his fallen comrade, Captain James Lawrence. After Lawrence fell mortally wounded aboard USS Chesapeake during its engagement with HMS Shannon on June 1, 1813, he famously called out, “Don’t give up the ship!” Perry, then preparing for operations on Lake Erie, had a dark blue battle ensign sewn bearing that exact phrase in bold white letters—a lasting homage to Lawrence’s valor National Park Service.
Perry raised this ensign aboard his flagship USS Lawrence on September 10, 1813, at the Battle of Lake Erie, a pivotal clash of the War of 1812. His nine-vessel American squadron routed and captured all six ships of the Royal Navy’s force—including HMS Detroit and HMS Queen Charlotte—marking the only time an entire British naval squadron surrendered. The triumph secured U.S. control of the lake, facilitated the recapture of Detroit, and paved the way for victory at the Battle of the Thames. Today, the original Perry flag is preserved in Memorial Hall at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland—where it has hung since 1849 as a symbol of naval perseverance and American resolve

On March 4, 1861, this flag was first flown over the capitol building in Montgomery, Alabama. It was selected from among hundreds of designs submitted to the provisional Confederate Government, with the final choice determined by a vote of the Provisional Confederate Congress.
Originally, the flag featured seven stars—each representing one of the original members of the new Confederacy. As additional states seceded from the United States and joined the Confederacy, more stars were added.
Eventually, the design was altered because public opinion held that it bore too close a resemblance to the Union flag. There is also historical speculation that on crowded and smoky battlefields, the flag was easily confused with that of the Union, potentially leading soldiers to mistakenly follow the wrong banner during combat.
