Inspired by the battle flag of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry during the War of 1812 while commanding the USS Lawrence. "Don't Give Up The Ship" were a paraphrase of the dying words of Captain James Lawrence, the ship's namesake and Perry's friend.

There's Erie Strong. Then there's "Presque Isle with a jacked bicep" Erie Strong.

Although the Commodore Perry Battle Flag is named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the 'Hero of Lake Erie', the actual story behind the flag begins with a lesser known name. Captain James Lawrence wasn't from a traditional naval background, and studied Law before joining the Navy as a midshipman in 1798. He gradually moved up the ranks, becoming a Captain in 1813. However, just two months after becoming a captain, he sailed the USS Chesapeake out of Boston straight toward the blockading HMS Shannon. During the intense, but brief battle, Lawrence was mortally wounded. As his crew rushed him below deck, his dying commands were 'Don't give up the ship!'

The state flag of Maryland, the American flag and Commodore Perry's battle flag "Dont Give Up the Ship" were flying from a home on East Street in Annapolis MD.
