Flag of the Bahamas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The flag of The Bahamas has an approximately 1:2 aspect ratio. The black triangle on the left represents the unity of the 300,000 people of The Bahamas, who are primarily of African descent. To the right of the triangle, the blue stripes at the top and bottom of the flag represent the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and the gold stripe in the middle represents the sun and sand between them: the sandy shores of the Bahamian islands. The flag was adopted on July 10, 1973.

The civil ensign is a red ensign with a white cross throughout and the national flag in the upper-hoist corner; the naval ensign is a white ensign with the same canton.
