National Beer Bag

This National Bohemian Beer litter bag c. 1965ish was a family attic find. This was clearly from a time before drinking and boating was discouraged.

Boaters in the Chesapeake Bay were encouraged to keep an eye out for Commodore Frank Hennessy, and give the National Beer Salute.

Chester Peake says, "Put litter in this bag..not in the bay."
