Description of the flag

Tangiers Island in the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay is dark blue with a St. Pirrans Cross in the Canton. A black line 1/3 of up from bottom denotes the Maryland-Virginia state line and a green circle below the black horizonal line represents the island itself.
William M. Grimes-Wyatt, 12 March 1996

The Cornwall cross reflects the Cornish and Devon origins of most of the original settlers back in the 17th Century.
