This magnificent flag flies over Fort Frederick. I found the colors of the English King on the Calvert colors attractive. I had envisioned that this might have been a flag that was flown over the fort when it was in use. Unfortunately, after a little research I found that was not the case and now think that this flag should not be flown over the fort since it is misleading. Why not fly a flag that is appropriate to the time when the fort was in use?

 

As quoted from: www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us-mdcal.html “The use of the king's colors as a canton on the Calvert color has no documented use. While this may have been ordered from London in 1755 there is no documentation that it was ever produced and or received and used here during any period. This flag, sometimes called incorrectly as the "Maryland Colonial" flag is a creation that was ordered by the governor of Maryland in 1976 for the bi-centennial at the WHC (Women's House of Correction) in Jessup, as the design he liked with no historical proof that it was ever flown in Maryland. As others have stated and the only documentation or mention of a Maryland flag during the revolutionary period and earlier almost always refers to the Black and Gold Calvert arms.”

Flowers of the yellow flag (Iris pseudacorus) are again lining the shores. They look elegant to me.

"The flag of Greece (popularly referred to as the galanolefki or the kianolefki, the "blue-white"), officially recognized by Greece as one of its national symbols, is based on nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. There is a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a white cross; the cross symbolizes Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the established religion of the Greek people of Greece and Cyprus. According to popular tradition, the nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase "Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος" ("Freedom or Death", " E-lef-the-ri-a i Tha-na-tos"), the five blue stripes for the syllables "Έλευθερία" and the four white stripes "ή Θάνατος". The nine stripes are also said to represent the letters of the word "freedom" (Greek: Ελευθερία). There is also a different theory, that the nine stripes symbolize the nine Muses, the goddesses of art and civilization (nine has traditionally been one of the numbers of reference for the Greeks)."
