Title
Steamboat's a-Comin': Flags Used Afloat in the Nineteenth Century
Abstract
Martucci discusses the challenges of determining of provenance of flags, including one owned by the Gopher family of the Great Lakes band of the Chippewa (Ojibwe, Ojibwa) tribe. He discusses maritime flags used on steamships, the Bard Brothers (painters of ships and flags), Sally Ann McFadden (flagmaker in New York, NY, USA), and name flags. Martucci analyzes provenance of flags based on patterns found within these domains.
