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

Also known as the 4th Regiment North Carolina State Troops, this unit became active in May 1861, and fought through to Appomattox. It saw its first duty at Manassas in July, and saw combagt at Yorktown, Williamsburg, Seven Pines (Fair Oaks), Mechanicsville, Cold Harbor, and South Mountain before engaging at Sharpsburg, the bloodiest battle of the war. Col. Grimes took command of the Reg’t at Cold Harbor. In the Antietam Campaign the 4th defended the center Confederate line at Sunken Road until flanked and driven from the position by parts of the Federal II Corps about midday on the 17th. The regiment went on to fight at Chancellorsville, where another unit refused to charge enemy breastworks to their front. The 4th charged over this unit and captured the fortifications. These North Caronlina boys were at Gettysburg and were the first troops to enter the town on July 1st, and the Federal troops captured outnumbered their own men. The 4th was in battle at Spottsylvania, Monocacy, and Appomattox. At Appomattox, Union troops tried to overwhelm North Carolinians, but were driven off. It was the last volley fired at Appomattox and very last by the Army of Northern Virginia.
