The only British Crown colony that currently uses a Red Ensign rather than the common British Blue Ensign like many of the other British territories. The red ensign was first adopted in October 1910, then later modified in 1999. The only modification that was made was that the coat of arms was enlarged. During the 19th century and part of the early 20th, Bermuda used a British Blue Ensign with a seal that depicted a dry dock with three sailing ships. The reason for the change to the British Red Ensign was to emulate Canada (pre-1965) and the Union of South Africa (pre-1928), both territories used the red ensign as a local flag on land. The coat of arms that was attributed to Bermuda is a red lion holding a shield; the shield depicts a shipwreck on the rocks. The Latin inscription on the coat of arms reads Quo Fata Farunt, “Whither the Fates Carry”. While the inscription is on the coat of arms, it is not featured on the flag itself.
