I was honored to be invited by the City of Bath to work with the city council on the design of a civic flag.
Inspirations for the design include the coat of arms of Bath’s namesake in Somerset, England and the coat of arms of George Popham, leader of Popham colony, which included the Bath area. The colony built the ship Virginia and launched a tradition of shipbuilding in Maine.
The golden ship also honors the city’s shipbuilding history and creates a tie to similar ships included on other city insignia, including the city seal, the weather vane atop city hall, and the logo of Morse High School.
The two blue waves represent the two major bodies of water flanking the city: Kennebec River and Merrymeeting Bay.
