This Lightweight Unisex Crewneck Sweatshirt pays tribute to the historic phrase "Don't Give Up the Ship," famously associated with Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry during the War of 1812.
Historical Context: This phrase originates from Captain James Lawrence, who commanded the USS Chesapeake during a battle against the British in 1813. Mortally wounded, Lawrence's last words were, "Don’t give up the ship!" His friend, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, later adopted this phrase as his personal battle flag during the Battle of Lake Erie, where he led American forces to a decisive victory. The phrase has since become a symbol of perseverance, patriotism, and naval courage. Made with soft, ring-spun cotton fabric with 100% cotton threads, it sits unmatched when it comes to softness. Lastly, Comfort Colors is a proud member of the US Cotton Trust Protocol. Available in black, pepper, blue jean, and grey
