What 10 claimed to have been the Brst
di spIsy of the national flag OF the United
States in Great Britain was made by
John Singleton Copley in London on
Decem Der s, 1882. On that day George
III acknowledged the independence Of
the United States and Copley who was an
American born and an artist painted the
American flag on the background OF
portrait OF Elkanah Watson. Captain
Mooers OF the whale ship Bedford Of Nam
tucket had the honor OF first displaying
the flag In port of Great Britain.
II was flying at the fore when his ship
arrived in the Downs, February, 3, 1888.
Captain Stewart Dean first carried 1t to
the East Indies in 1885 in the Enterprise
OF which he had command. When Ver-
mont and Kentucky were admitted TO the
Union the flag was altered. BY act of
Congress passed January l3, 1874, the
number of stripes and stars was in
creased to fifteen. This act went into
effect May 1, 1895, and from that date
until 1918 when there were twenty states
the number of stars and stripes remained
the same. committee was then ap-
pointed TO revite the national standard
and Il invited Captain Samuel Z. Reid,
the gallant defender OF the privateer
Armstrong to devise a new one. Captain
Reid returned to the original thirteen
stripes but added a star tor every state.
That has been the national flag OF the
United Safes ever since, new star being
added whenever another state is admitted
