The Rhode Island Flag was only the third officially sanctioned state banners.
Almost 90 years after
Rhode Island joined the union, the General Assembly of the state adopted an
official Rhode Island Flag. The colors and design
of the Rhode Island Flag date back to colonial times. The most
prominent feature of the Rhode Island Flag, the anchor, dates
back to 1647 and the Cromwellian Patent of 1643 when the
Providence Plantations were established. Later, when a more
liberal charter was bestowed upon the colony, the anchor was
again chosen for the Rhode Island Flag seal and the word "HOPE" was added to the
Rhode Island Flag.
Today's Rhode Island
Flag is much the same Rhode Island Flag that was adopted in
1897. Centered on the white Rhode Island Flag is an anchor surrounded by
thirteen stars. Below the Anchor on the Rhode Island Flag, is a blue ribbon that
displays the word "HOPE", the state motto. By
looking at the Rhode Island Flag, you can tell that it is a
coastal state. The Rhode Island Flag design is simple,
but effective. |
