Saint Pierre and Miquelon flag

In 1982 an unofficial local flag was designed for the Collectivity of Saint Martin, based on the Collectivity's coat of arms. The flag features a blue background with a yellow ship in the center, representing the Grande Hermine ship that brought Jacques Cartier to the island in 1536. Along the hoist of the flag, there are three square fields, placed top to bottom, representing the Basques, Bretons, and Normans – origins of most inhabitants of the island.

It is said that the flag was designed by André Paturel, a local business owner, but there is no official citation to confirm this. It is worth noting that this flag is not official and not officially recognized by the Collectivity of Saint Martin and its use is not mandatory, but It is common sight in the territory, being flown alongside the French tricolour in front of government buildings or even private residences, as it serves as a symbol of the territory's history and cultural identity.
