The shield for the flag was taken directly from the Coat of Arms.
The following is a small explanation of the items seen on the flag.
1.) The colours in the flag are green and gold. Green has been the
traditional colour of Marystown and gold was used to reflect the
colours of the Coat of Arms.
2.) The gold wavy lines at the top of the shield represent the waves
that continually wash on the shores of Mortier Bay.
3.) The ships wheel in the center signifies the shipbuilding industry
and, of course, the fishing industry, which are the mainstays of the
economy of our community.
4.) The three small gold drops that surround the wheel represent the
"black gold" or the oil that is off our shores. And we hope the
beginning of very prosperous times for all of Marystown.
