| The flag of Rhode
Island is white and consists of a gold anchor in the center (a
symbol for hope) surrounded by thirteen gold stars (for the
original 13 colonies and Rhode Island's status as the 13th state
to ratify the Constitution). A blue ribbon below the anchor bears
the state's motto in gold: "HOPE." The flag of the State of Rhode
Island as it presently exists was formally adopted in 1897. It is
frequently depicted with golden fringe around the edges of the
flag.
