Flown from Admiral Dewey's ship, the Olympia, during the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish American War. Measuring 46 by 48 inches with a sisal hanging rope and wooden dowel. A white woven background with a red "X" stretching from corner to corner, the legs of the "X" are 8 inches wide. Complete with a U.S. Department of the Navy/Olympia tag affixed to the flag and a Bannerman Military Goods hanging tag. According to information from the consigner, this flag was featured in a photograph on page 203 of Bannerman's 1907 Catalog along with confirmatory information.

Fair, the material is starting to deteriorate along the hem and the flag itself. Very fragile. The Department of the Navy/Olympia tag has a raised seal which is excellent, all information on the raised seal is easily read.
