Originally it included the motto, &#8220;An Appeal to Heaven.&#8221;  However, the state <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Flag_of_Massachusetts#Naval_and_maritime_flag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">removed that portion<\/a> in 1971.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officially the state calls it &#8220;The Naval and Maritime Flag of the Commonwealth.&#8221; This recognizes that Massachusetts is but one of four United States <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=43\">that declares itself a commonwealth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ensign_of_Maine.svg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/2\/22\/Ensign_of_Maine.svg\/1024px-Ensign_of_Maine.svg.png\" alt=\"Ensign of Maine.

According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mainelegislature.org\/legis\/statutes\/1\/title1sec207.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maine State Legislature<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The flag to be known as the merchant and marine flag of the State shall be of white, at the top of which in blue letters shall be the motto &#8220;Dirigo&#8221;; beneath the motto shall be the representation of a pine tree in green color, the trunk of which shall be entwined with the representation of an anchor in blue color; beneath the tree and anchor shall be the name &#8220;Maine&#8221; in blue color.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It bears a striking resemblance to the Massachusetts naval ensign. I speculate that it somehow relates to Maine having been originally part of Massachusetts until 1820 when it became a separate state. The Latin term Dirigo translates to &#8220;I lead&#8221; or &#8220;I direct&#8221; and is the official Maine motto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of the colonies that became the original 13 United States had their own navies during the Revolutionary War.
