Object Name:
Flag
Description:
Mid-sized canvas flag bearing the U.S. Shipping Board logo and title stitched onto both sides. Likely pre-dates the existence of the Evansville Shipyard as the U.S. Shipping Board existed between 1916 and 1934 and was no longer an entity by the time the Evansville Shipyard began construction in 1942. Possibly originates from the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co.'s work constructing Ferris Class wooden cargo ships for the U.S. Shipping Board in World War I.
