Flag of Navassa Island

Flag of Navassa Island

The unofficial flag of Navassa Island was designed for and first flown at a World War II memorial tribute at the USS "Arizona" Memorial at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 2001. It is a white and blue horizontal bicolor, with a profile of the island (and its landmark lighthouse, with exaggerated size) in the white band.

The United States and Haiti both claim Navassa Island. [http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/haiti/misctopic/navassa/navassa.htm] Thus the official flag, if used on uninhabited Navassa, is similarly disputed; it is either the flag of Haiti or the flag of the United States.
