Description Annin Flagmakers Empire Brand Commodore Perry Desk Flag – “Don’t Give Up the Ship” Historical Miniature Flag (4″x6″) A Naval Symbol of Courage and Resolve The Annin Flagmakers Empire Brand Commodore Perry Desk Flag honors one of the most iconic battle flags in American naval history. Bearing the famous words “DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP” on a bold navy-blue field, this flag became a rallying symbol during the War of 1812. It reflects the bravery of U.S. Navy officers who fought under its message of perseverance and patriotism. Even in modern times, the phrase continues to embody courage, discipline, and duty. The Story Behind Perry’s Famous Flag In 1813, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry commissioned this flag to honor his fallen friend, Captain James Lawrence, whose dying command aboard the USS Chesapeake was, “Don’t give up the ship.” Perry flew this banner on the USS Lawrence during the Battle of Lake Erie, one of the most decisive victories in early American naval history. As the battle turned, Perry transferred his command to another vessel, carrying the flag with him. Ultimately, his leadership under this motto secured control of Lake Erie and boosted American morale across the nation.
