According to a photograph published in Flag Report 91 (July 2019) and other
photographs I have, the flag of Bahamas Immigration Dep. is not 1:1:1, but
2:1:1.
According to
https://www.immigration.gov.bs/about-us/history/:
The Immigration Flag is
the creation of Chief Immigration Officer Philip V. L. Gomez. It has three
unequal stripes from hoist to fly black gold and aquamarine; bearing two gold
billets on the aquamarine.br>The flag also recalls the “Banner
of the Kingdom of the XV Islands”, which Spain created around 1496 to symbolize
the area that is now The Bahamas.
CConsequently, during the 1991 unveiling,
then Minister Alfred Maycock articulated his hope that the dedication service
would mark the beginning of a special blessing from the ‘Almighty God’ to be
bestowed upon the Immigration Officers and that God would protect them against
destruction.
