Gloria takes her name from the nickname of our country’s flag, “Old Glory”. With the flag painted on the side of her hull, she is one of the most beautiful ducks in the fleet. The name “Old Glory” comes from the nickname of one specific flag that belonged to Captain Driver from Salem, Massachusetts. This flag was created by Captain Driver’s mother to fly from his ship and measured 10 feet by 17 feet. After moving to Nashville, Tennessee, Captain Driver’s flag became famous as the symbol of victory after the Union soldiers retook control of Nashville during the Civil War.
