The Dolphin Flag. Ratio: 3:5

Version of the flag used at sea. Ratio: 1:2

The Dolphin Flag of Anguilla was adopted on September 29, 1967, after the colony (then part of Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla) unilaterally declared independence from Great Britain. It depicted three orange dolphins in a circle on a white background with a turquoise stripe at the bottom. It was used until March 19, 1969, when British rule was restored.^[1]

The white background on the flag represents peace. The turquoise stripe represents the Caribbean Sea. The three dolphins represent endurance, unity, and strength, and their circular arrangement represents community.^[2]

The flag was designed by Arline and Marvin Oberman.

Although no longer official, the flag is still flown today.^[2]
