NOTE: The flag mounted on the bulkhead of veranda deck is the very same one flown by Commodore Matthew C. Perry when he led the US Navy's Far East Squadron into Tokyo Bay in 1853-1854. As displayed in the frame, the flag appears to "backward," with the union (the canton, or field, of stars) in the upper right corner. This orientation was dictated by the US military's practice of displaying an immobile flag so that the union is toward the front of the person, vehicle, aircraft, or vessel, giving the visual impression that it is flying in the wind as the person or craft moves forward. The ceremony was conducted on the starboard side of the ship; had it been conducted on the port side, the flag would have been displayed with the union to the left, as it is normally seen.

The cloth of the historic flag was so fragile that the conservator at the Naval Academy Museum directed that a protective backing be sewn on it.
