The Frost has an interesting history being sunk about 10 years after this ensign became official. On October 1, 1899, the steamer NEW ORLEANS, coming into the harbor, had a collision with the tug E.E. FROST, outward bound. Capt. Louis P. Cole, was in the pilot house of the FROST, and was steering the boat. As the NEW ORLEANS struck the smaller craft her bow cut into the tugboat and the latter went to the bottom. Capt. Cole found himself in a perilous position as the boat sank beneath the surface. The door of the pilothouse had become jammed in the collision and Cole was imprisoned. Finally the pressure of the water on the outside became so great that Cole was enabled to get the door opened and float to the surface. As an outcome of the collision, Cole has filed a libel in admiralty against the steamer NEW ORLEANS for $10,000 and costs. The steamer was seized by a United States marshal several days ago, but has since been released upon the filing of a surety company bond for $10,000 by the owners of the vessel. 4) 48-star US flag, all machine sewn with with 48 double-applique 2″ stars. CONDITION: 1) Much fraying and reductions in bunting. Several stars repaired and a few stars are torn and pulled loose. Flag measures 68″ on hoist, 84″ on fly.

Hoist is shredded and only partially contains rope hoist in its sleeve. 2) Good overall, though there are reductions especially in stars as can be seen in photos. Flag measures about 70″ on hoist, 84″ on fly. 3) Very good overall. Scattered small insect damage areas, color is very good. Sewing sound. 4) Good overall, shows wear and fading. Soiling and reductions especially on fly. 44″ on hoist, 60″ on fly. 49804-2 (800-1,200)
