Yes... besides the convenience of its quick reference feature, the book is a pocket book sized hardcover... so it's easy to keep in a handy place at the boat.
Happy belated 240th birthday! Semper Fi !Small USMC Battle Flag? Ah hell no! Fly those colors proudly, like I do on my boat. Port side spreader is where she will fly.
It's actually a very nice flag. Y'all don't seem to fly it enough.[/QUOTE]
I don't think that many of us are aware of the flag. I guess we know its out there but if you polled NY'ers about anything specific on it, I don't think many would be able to answer. That's to our shame, I guess.
No state government classes in elementary school in NY? My sixth grade class in AR took a field trip to the state capitol building; we learned all about the flag. Or, do NY'ers mostly arrive to NYC as adults having grown up somewhere else?
Looks like the flag has lost some color.View attachment 117033

That is the same flag that flew on Bagram Airbase, Afghanistan. I flew that flag every Sunday on the base just to let the soldiers know who they were working with. LOL
Here is the same flag on Bagram Airbase, taken April 10, 2010.

I have a feeling you're right. I'll fly it when you come sail with me.

i lived in Portland Or in my 4th grade year and we took field trip to salem the capital and in my 5th grade year i was in Arkansas we had state history but no field trip about 10 years ago i went to australia and got to learn a lot about their history visiting Eureka Stockade in Ballarat ....history is good ..it inflicts 20 -20 vision (hindsight if you will )
We fly the American flag from the starboard stern, to starboard of the centerline...(Maybe 6-8 inches)...we have a flag halyard on the starboard spreader for my past commodore flag, our yacht club burgee and some times the State of Kansas flag, s noted above, per Chapmans there are certain size requirements for the American flag based on the length of the vessel. I luckily read Chapman's before I purchased the American flag as our flag is visible flying from shore....and from other boats...I was in Color Guard in the Navy so flying a flag correctly is important to me.....Patrick
Capt. Ron, On the USS Independence (CV-62) the Ensign was only flown off the stern when in port. The Ensign was flown from a starboard halyard off the the Island while at sea. At least as far as I recall. The Union Jack was flown off the bow in port as well. Signal flags were flown off the signal bridge on the port side of the island along with courtesy flags while in port.
