Dearborn, MI, United States
This flag was used on Henry Ford's "Peace Ship" expedition of 1915. Ford paid to sail more than 100 delegates and reporters to Europe in December 1915. His goal was to establish a conference of neutral nations that could end World War I. While the mission failed to bring peace, it brought extensive publicity to Ford and the pacifist cause.
