Hawaiian Historical Flags - State Flag, Gadsden War Flag, Royal Ensign & Pennant #1485410 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays four historically significant flags associated with Hawaii: the current state flag (Union Jack canton with eight stripes representing the major islands), the yellow Gadsden-style war flag with coiled rattlesnake and “DON’T TREAD ON ME” slogan, the royal ensign (similar to the state flag but historically flown by the Kingdom of Hawaii), and the distinctive red royal pennant bearing the Union Jack and the same motto. These flags reflect Hawaii’s complex colonial, revolutionary, and monarchical past.
