During the War of 1812, Captain James Lawrence's dying words were, "Don't give up the ship." Commodore Perry made this his battle cry the following year when he fought the British in the Battle of Lake Erie. Made of a high quality polyester material, our Dura-Poly Commodore Perry flag measures 3' x 5' and includes vivid colors and an accurate design. The flag is screen-printed on a durable 150 denier shiny polyester material and is finished with a double stitched hem. The flag features a white fabric header with two brass grommets on the 3' side for easy display. The flag is best used indoors but can withstand occasional outdoor use. The authentic design is based on information from official sources.
