Navies, Marines, and coast guards from around the world came together to celebrate the Bicentennial of the War of 1812 in Baltimore, Maryland. This ship is from Columbia, one of many countries that gathered to show their support. The celebration was called “The Star-Spangled SAILabration,” after the Star Spangled Banner, which was written after the War of 1812 in Baltimore.
Protesters have used the upside-down Hawaiian flag as a symbol of their distress—the upside-down flag is also associated with the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
