Does Union’s Flagship Deserve a Keepsake in the NJ Historic Wooden Village Collection? It Does Now!

UPDATE: March 12, 2025

Congratulations Union, Route 22, and yes what we think is the “World Famous Flagship – the ship that never sailed.” Your votes mattered, and Route 22 Flagship will be part of the New Jersey Historical Wooden Keepsake Collection! The Mr. Local History Project group is a non-profit 501c that relies on fundraisers like this to expand our history programs, so every time you grow your collection, you’re continually supporting the non-profit efforts to invest in the keepsake program with new collectibles.

A Jersey Ship that Never Sailed – The Flagship in Union is a story Mr. Local History researched (the link to that story is at the bottom of this page). Then, someone sent in a request asking if they could purchase a wooden keepsake of The Flagship. Well, now, a “Keepsake of the Flagship” is under review, and we’re gauging interest and want to see if “The Flagship” is worthy of being part of the New Jersey Historic Wooden Village collection of New Jersey historical icons.

We are considering this 1940s photo for our artist’s interpretation.

UPDATE: 2/24/2025
