Product Description

New Hampshire was the first to declare its independence of Great Britain on June 15, 1776 and was one of the original states of the Union. The seal has the optimistic rising sun in the background with a ship in the shipbuilding yard at Portsmouth, supposedly the Raleigh. The Raleigh was first launched in 1776, and was one of the earliest ships of the U.S. Navy. In 1784 the seal was adopted and used as a military flag from 1792 on a blue background. The state flag with the addition of nine stars within a laurel wreath was adopted in February 1909. The seal was redrawn and used on the flag in 1931. 1776 replaced the date of 1784 at the foot of the original seal, which was the state's independence declaration. Some attemps were made in 1944 to redesign the flag completely but it came to nothing.
