Seal of Rhode Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rhode Island State Seal features a maritime anchor as its central image. The anchor has been used as a symbol for Rhode Island for hundreds of years, well before the region claimed statehood. The word "Hope" was placed over the seal's anchor in 1644,^{[citation needed]} and still remains. The outer circle of the seal reads Seal of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations 1636.
