Description of the flag

‘SXM Unity Flag
The 'Unity Flag' is considered by many to be the national flag of St. Martin Island (St. Maarten/Saint Martin), a 87-square-kilometre (34 sq mi) Caribbean island, divided roughly into two halves between the French Republic and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the two parts are roughly equal in population too. The division dates to 1648. The flag was created in 1990 to represent both sides of the island, and all St. Martiners as one nation. The design of the flag, and the symbols used, depict the island itself and its history. It stands for freedom, unity and local pride.’

NB Although it is not always obvious in the images, the two blue central horizontal stripes seem to be of different hues, the upper, lighter, the lower, darker. This is more evident in some of the pictures.
