P1050145

I saw this flag flying in Savannah, GA, on my road trip this summer, and at the time couldn't identify it. It's apparently the first version of the US flag, called the Grand Union Flag, flown unofficially from 1775 to 1777, when a flag was officially adopted, replacing the Union Jack in the canton (corner) with the more well known field of blue with 13 stars. The Grand Union Flag draws inspiration from the flag of the British East India Company.
