***Hey :) Among other interesting features of that photo, I noticed the stripes are vertical and the stars are black...what flag is that?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My guess is the “The United States Civil Flag of Peacetime.”

(snip)”...However, another National flag, representing constitutional authority, had been adopted in 1799 and by 1800 was in use by merchants and Citizens who could afford one. It represented the authority of the US Constitution, common law, and peace...”

It became the Revenue Cutter Service ensign and was later modified and adopted by the US Coast Guard.
