Andrew Doria - The First SWalute, Inc.

Andrew Doria - The First Salute, Inc. is a corporation established to commemorate and honor a significant historical event involving the brigantine Andrew Doria during the American Revolutionary War. The company particularly celebrates the moment in 1776 when the Andrew Doria, a vessel of the Continental Navy, received the first recognition of the American flag by a foreign power.

This event took place in the Dutch-held Caribbean island of Sint Eustatius. When the Andrew Doria, carrying the newly adopted American flag, arrived at the island, it saluted the Dutch fort with a gun salute. Remarkably, the Dutch fort returned the salute, acknowledging the legitimacy of the American ship and its flag. This act is considered the first formal recognition of American sovereignty by a foreign entity, a moment of great historical significance in the struggle for American independence.

Andrew Doria - The First Salute, Inc. may engage in various activities to educate the public and celebrate this historic event. These could include organizing commemorations, educational programs, publications, and other initiatives aimed at promoting the understanding and appreciation of this pivotal episode in American history.
