Today we are flying the:
Serapis Flag
One of the most unique-looking historical flags to represent the United States, this was one of the first ship ensigns to represent America in a foreign port, where it was accepted as an American flag.
”I have not yet begun to fight” ~ John Paul Jones, 1779

When do we fly this flag?
We display this flag late September through early October in honor of the Battle of Flamborough Head on September 23, 1779 and the date it was officially entered into Dutch logbooks on October 5, 1779.
