Collection: Rhode Island

The official Rhode Island state flag is white, featuring a gold anchor in the center surrounded by thirteen gold stars. A blue ribbon below the anchor bears the state's motto, "HOPE", also in gold. The thirteen stars represent the original thirteen colonies and Rhode Island's status as the 13th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. The anchor, a symbol of hope, is a direct reference to the state's motto, which is inspired by a biblical verse (Hebrews 6:19). The flag is often depicted with yellow fringe, though this is not consistently used in all official contexts.
