Chamber:

Florida Legislature

This bill would change Florida's official state flagship—a symbolic title given to a ship that represents the state's maritime heritage—from the schooner Western Union (a historic sailing vessel from Key West) to the S.S. American Victory, a World War II-era ship and museum in Tampa. The change honors veterans and the state's military history. Residents and visitors can learn about past wars and merchant mariners through exhibits and programs.
