1836 Hawkins Texas Navy Flag

The Texas Navy Flag, with a single star in a
blue field, with thirteen red and
white stripes like
the United States Flag, was first adopted on April 9th, 1836, by President
David G. Burnet. He originally flew the Texas Navy Flag as the
"National Standard" while at Harrisburg Texas, from the porch of a private
home, then ordered that it be adopted by the
Texas Navy, and it
was flown by all four of the original "First
Texas Navy Ships"
"Burnets order called for a flag that is:
union blue, star central, thirteen stripes prolonged, alternate red and
white".
But this was not a new design ! It had
been used as letterhead for the firm of McKinney, Williams and Company,
dating back to at least early 1834. And had been the "standard" flown
on McKinney and Williams ships. ( A Brief History of the Texas Navy
Flag, Adm. Jerry C. Drake, July 2008,
