Flag of Cayman Islands

On May 14, 1958, the Cayman Islands’ national flag was formally established. The Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory, had formerly flown the official British flag for all administrative and official reasons. The coat-of-arms was awarded to the area, and this ensign was approved for use in the flag.

The base color of the Cayman Islands flag is navy blue. In the upper left corner, the British Union Jack is shown. Cayman Island’s coat of arms is in the center of the flag on the right side.

The coat of arms consists of a shield, a crested headpiece, and a motto. The three green stars on the crest represent the Cayman Islands. The white wavy lines indicate the sea. A gold lion represents Great Britain towards the top of the shield. Above the crest, there is a green turtle on a rope coil, and below the turtle is a gold pineapple. The country’s motto is written underneath the crest: “He hath founded it upon the seas.”
