Annin Nyl-Glo Nylon Washington's Cruisers Flag
There once stood an elm tree at the corner of Essex Street and Orange Street in Boston, Massachusetts, under which a group of men calling themselves the "Sons of Liberty" met to protest the notorious British Stamp Act sometime during 1765. From that time onward, the tree was popularly called the "Liberty Tree." In 1775, the British seized Boston, cut down the tree and used it for firewood. Flags bearing the symbol of the "Liberty Tree" almost immediately began to appear. So it is no wonder that when, in the fall of that same year, George Washington outfitted a squadron of six schooners at his own expense, he fittingly used the symbol of the tree and his own personal prayer to the Lord with the phrase, "An Appeal to Heaven."
