 The New York NY state flag depicts the figures of Liberty and Justice support a shield in which boats are sailing on what is said to be the Hudson River, in front of mountains and a rising sun. Liberty holds a liberty cap, another symbol of liberty, and at her feet is a discarded crown, representing the freedom from England. Justice, wearing a blindfold and holding the scales of justice in her hand, stands for the equal treatment of everyone under the law. New York State Flag Adopted: 1901
