Our latest original design recognizes the 14th Continental Regiment, also known as the Marblehead Regiment and Glover's Company.

It features the signature of Colonel John Glover, Commander of the 14th Continental Regiment, as well as the regiment’s major engagements—Long Island, Pell’s Point, White Plains, and Trenton. Crossed oars and the outline of Massachusetts pay homage to the regiment’s maritime roots, accompanied by the phrase Washington himself used to describe them: “bred to the sea.”

The shirt:

  • 100% cotton Made in the USA shirt in Navy — This long-sleeved shirt 100% combed ringspun cotton fine jersey and that has been pre-washed to reduce shrinkage. The size through the body is the same as with the short-sleeved shirts. See size chart.
  • All shirts are printed in New England.

This design is also available in a made in America t-shirt and a hooded sweatshirt.


Historic event behind the design

John Glover (November 5, 1732 – January 30, 1797) was an American fisherman, merchant, politician, and military leader from Marblehead, Massachusetts. As a brigadier general in the Continental Army, he played a significant role during the American Revolutionary War. Glover is best remembered for helping lay the foundations of what would become the United States Navy, leading one of the first integrated regiments of the Revolution, and famously guiding General George Washington’s forces across the Delaware River.

This distinguished unit, often called the “Marblehead Regiment,” began as a Massachusetts militia raised in 1775 and soon taken into the Continental Army that summer. Composed largely of fishermen, mariners, and seamen from Marblehead, these seasoned sailors earned the nickname the “amphibious regiment.” According to Washington himself, the men were “bred to the sea,” and their nautical skills proved vital during the New York and New Jersey campaigns. Notably, they manned the boats that ferried the army before and after the Battle of Trenton in December 1776.

Once fully incorporated into the Continental Army, the Marblehead militia was redesignated the 14th Continental Regiment. Despite their pivotal contributions, the men were enlisted for only eighteen months. By December 31, 1776, their term of service ended, and the 14th Continental Regiment was disbanded in eastern Pennsylvania.
