The 34-Star United States Naval Pattern Flag (USS Monitor 1862) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag recalls the proud maritime service of the Union Navy during the early Civil War years. Flown between 1861 and 1863, this straightforward naval pattern features thirty-four white stars in six horizontal rows, representing the states united under one banner.
