Flag of Maine

Uncommon card · No. 169880

The flag of Maine was adopted by the U.S. state on February 23, 1909. Its design consists of the state's coat of arms on a blue field. In the center of a heraldic shield, a moose rests under a tall pine tree. A farmer and seaman are meant to represent the traditional reliance on agriculture and the sea by the state. The North Star is intended to allude to the state motto: dirigo ('I lead'). Maine also uses an ensign with a different design; this flag was adopted on March 16, 1939.
