Congratulations to Union, Route 22, and the famous historic roadside attraction, the “World Famous Flagship – the ship that never sailed.” Your votes mattered, and the Route 22 Flagship is now officially part of the New Jersey Historical Wooden Keepsake Collection. The Mr. Local History Project group is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that relies on fundraisers like this to expand its history programs. So, every time you grow your collection, you’re continually supporting the non-profit efforts to invest in its educational Jersey history programs.

Join the release party and get your hands on the initial run of the historic roadside attraction, the Route 22 Flagship in Union Township, New Jersey.

A Jersey Ship That Never Sailed – The Flagship in Union is a story researched by Mr. Local History (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.

This 1940s photo served as the design for our commissioned artist’s interpretation.
