"Корабль не сдавать!"
Слова капитана Дж. Магфорда [Mugford, James], которые он произнес с борта шхуны "Франклин" [Franklin, U.S.S.] в момент британской атаки на Бостон-Харбор [Boston Harbor] 19 мая 1776. В этом сражении Магфорд погиб. Эта же фраза приписывается смертельно раненому капитану американского фрегата "Чесапик" [Chesapeake, U.S.S.] Дж. Лоренсу [Lawrence, James], погибшему 1 июня 1813 во время боя с британским судном "Шэннон" [Shannon, H.M.S.] в ходе англо-американской войны 1812-14 [War of 1812]. В те дни фраза была настолько известна, что ее использовали в качестве сигнала с топа мачты флагманского корабля "Лоренс" [Lawrence, U.S.S.], которым управлял командор Перри [Perry, Oliver Hazard], в битве у озера Эри [Lake Erie, Battle of] 10 сентября 1813
