On March 21, 1901 the
Maine State Legislature passed "An Act to Establish a Maine
State flag." The Maine State flag was to include a Pine Tree
centered on a buff colored field. Equidistant from the hoist
and upper border of the Maine State flag a blue polar star was
to be displayed.
Interestingly, on
February 23, 1909, the State Legislature adopted a new
standard, describing the Maine State flag as a display of the
Maine coat of arms on a blue field. This is the Maine State
flag in use today, more or less.
The Maine State Flag is
blue. The size of the Maine State flag is designated as four
feet, four inches by five feet, six inches. In the center of
the Maine State flag, embroidered in silk, is the Maine State
coat of arms. The Maine State flag is edged with a knotted
fringe of yellow silk two and one-half inches wide.
The Maine State coat of
arms on the Maine state flag, displays upon a shield, a pine tree, a moose, land and
sea. Above the shield on the Maine state flag, the Maine state
motto, "Dirigo" (I lead), is displayed in small upper case
letters on a banner beneath the North Star. Below the shield
on the Maine state flag,
on a blue banner, is the name of the state, "MAINE." |
