Trivia: The flag of the island of Barbados features an image of what weapon?
Harpoon
Rifle
Trident
Sabre
The correct answer is Trident
So why is this answer correct? : The original colonial flag of Barbados featured a colorful scene of Poseidon carrying a trident while being carried by seahorses. As the island approached sovereignty, it sponsored a competition to design a new flag. One Bajan art teacher took inspiration from the former flag and distilled it into its most striking symbol, the trident. His design was chosen and was first hoisted on November 30, 1966, upon the country’s independence.
