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, and still remains. The outer circle of the seal reads Seal of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations 1636.
