The story behind the design

The Lake America Design

On August 27, 2026, Executive Order 14422 changed Lake Ontario’s U.S. federal name to Lake America, a sister to the Gulf of America. Our Premium design is a nautical chart seal: a lighthouse on its pier with Old Glory flying beside it and waves rolling in, inside a laid rope, with “LAKE AMERICA” engraved round the top and “RENAMED 2026” between the coordinates 43°42′N and 77°54′W. Made to order for the boat, the dock and the lake house, on tees, hoodies, rope caps, canvas and glassware.

The artwork. Lake Ontario, whose U.S. federal name became Lake America by Executive Order 14422 of August 27, 2026, charted like its sister the Gulf: a lighthouse on its pier with Old Glory flying beside it and waves rolling in, inside a laid rope, with “LAKE AMERICA” engraved round the top and “RENAMED 2026” between the chart coordinates 43°42′N and 77°54′W. In Old Glory red, white and blue.
