Annin Flagmakers Empire Brand Serapis Desk Flag – Colonial Era Historical Miniature Flag (4″x6″)

A Naval Banner of Bravery and American Resolve

The Annin Flagmakers Empire Brand Serapis Desk Flag celebrates one of the most remarkable flags to emerge from the American Revolution. Closely tied to Captain John Paul Jones and his legendary naval triumph, this banner represents courage and ingenuity at sea. When Jones captured the British warship HMS Serapis in 1779, he raised this distinctive flag to announce both his victory and the strength of America’s new navy.

The Distinctive Design and its Revolutionary Story

Unlike any other Revolutionary War flag, the Serapis Flag features thirteen horizontal stripes in alternating red, white, and blue. In the blue canton, thirteen white stars form a perfect circle, symbolizing the unity of the colonies. According to naval accounts, Jones designed or adopted this unique tricolor pattern after his original ensign was destroyed during battle. The bold colors and balanced design gave early American vessels a striking identity on the open seas. Therefore, it remains a powerful reminder of how innovation and spirit helped secure the young nation’s independence.
