@ New Hampshire State Flag
Flier begins his tour of New Hampshire. Bienvenue, welcome to the Granite State!
New Hampshire State Flag
The flag of the state of New Hampshire consists of the state seal centred on a blue background. The Great Seal depicts the frigate USS Raleigh and is surrounded by a laurel wreath with nine stars. The Raleigh is one of the first 13 warships sponsored by the Continental Congress for a new American navy, built in 1776, at Portsmouth. The seal is surrounded by a laurel wreath. The wreath is an ancient symbol of fame, honour, and victory. The nine stars within the wreath show that New Hampshire was the ninth state to join the Union. The water stands for the harbour of Portsmouth, and in the yellow-coloured spit of land is granite, a strong igneous rock, representing both New Hampshire's rugged landscape and the sturdy character of her people.
