Hawaii State Flag
| A short history of the Hawaii State flag | Captain Cook first landed in Hawaii in 1778, and one of his companions named George Vancouver revisited the islands in 1793. He presented the King with a Union Jack. Hawaii was under British protection until 1816, and took as its flag the Union Jack. Today it still makes up a part of the flag of the 50th state of the USA. After the British had gone the King kept the Union Jack in the canton of his flag. The rest of the flag is made up of varying numbers of red, white, and blue stripes. In 1845, the number of stripes became eight, and each stripe representing one of the main islands in the Hawaiian chain. This flag has remained constant during many changes in Hawaii's history. |
