Don't Give Up The Ship

Bancroft Hall, US Naval Academy. At the very end, into the next room, is a flag, with embroidered admonition to "Don't Give Up The Ship." Apparently, the dying command of James Lawrence in 1813 aboard the USS Chesapeake.

This building is a dorm; the kids live in the floors above. So much nicer than my dorm room from years ago.

Thanks for tolerating the touristy shots of the past week.
