Barbados Flag: The Trident Is Not Broken

The Barbados flag features a golden trident on an ultramarine field—it is not broken.

The trident symbolizes:

• Dependence on the sea
• Fishing heritage
• Democratic principles: government of, by, and for the people (three points)

The flag was adopted November 30, 1966 (Independence Day). Designed by Grantley W. Prescod.
