Annin Flagmakers First Navy Jack Flag – 3′×5′ Nyl-Glo Nylon Outdoor Flag

A Revolutionary Symbol of Naval Tenacity

The Annin Flagmakers First Navy Jack Flag stands as one of America’s earliest symbols of defiance at sea. First flown in 1775 by the Continental Navy under Commodore Esek Hopkins, this flag represented unity, determination, and readiness to fight for independence. Moreover, this 3′×5′ nylon reproduction captures the patriotic essence of those early American sailors who faced the British fleet with courage and conviction.

Striking Design with Enduring Message

The First Navy Jack displays thirteen alternating red-and-white horizontal stripes representing the 13 colonies. Across these stripes slithers a coiled rattlesnake—a powerful emblem of vigilance and resistance. Beneath the snake appears the famous warning: “DON’T TREAD ON ME.”
This imagery, inspired by Benjamin Franklin’s writings, conveyed a simple but bold message: the colonies would strike swiftly in defense of liberty. The design’s clarity and strength make it one of the most recognized and enduring banners of the American Revolution.
