In Rhode Island the anchor has been used as a state symbol ever since 1647 which is evident in the current State flag. The anchor represents Rhode Island's seafaring activities and the thirteen stars, the original thirteen colonies. The native Rhode Islanders were among the first to join the Minutemen outside Boston. The Rhode Island Regiments served at the Battles of Brandywine, Trenton and Yorktown. This flag is preserved today in the State House at Providence, Rhode Island.
United States Historical Raven Flag
All outdoor flags have a canvas heading with brass grommets.
It was made for Jarl Sigurd by his mother, and he had it with him when he went to Ireland. Another legend about the banner was that it brought victory while it was carried, but its bearer died. The story goes, that at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, against Brian Boru's forces, two of Sigurd's men who were carrying the banner had died, and the third one he asked refused to take it up. Thereupon, Sigurd wrapped it around his waist, but was killed by an Irish spear. It was at this same battle that Brian was ambushed and slain.
