The flag of Rhode Island was introduced in 1877 and changed in 1897.

The flag is almost square and white. It shows a golden anchor in the middle as a symbol of hope, which is surrounded by 13 golden stars. These represent the original 13 colonies and Rhode Islands status as the 13th state to ratify the United States Constitution. A blue ribbon below the anchor bears the state motto in gold letters: " HOPE " ( hope ).

The flag of Rhode Island in its current form was formally introduced in 1897 and is often depicted with a gold border around the edges.
