Rhode Island State Seal:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Rhode Island General Assembly first adopted a seal for the colony in 1664 (containing an anchor with the word "Hope" above it). The use of the word "Hope" was probably inspired by the biblical phrase "hope we have as an anchor of the soul." |
