The white strip represents the beautiful sea there as well as the equality of men there. The last color black symbolizes the strength, unity, and resources of the land and the people there. Also like every country T&T has a coat of arms. The coat of arms consists of a sheild with two hummingbirds on top of the sheild kissing each other. Then there are local birds that are supporting the sheild, the scarlet ibis and also the cocrico. In the middle of the sheild is the image of three ships that are supposed to represent the first three ships that Columbus came with in 1498. This sheild is on the wave beating rocky shores symbolizing Columbus's initial expedition there. Also there is a luxurious object on top of the sheild which represents the people's pride for their country. Below you may have a look at this coat of arms.
