The Trident is most famously known as the weapon of the mythical god Poseidon. However, the Trident is also the national symbol of Barbados, representing strength, power, and the sea. The Barbadian Trident, as seen on the national flag, differs from a standard trident in that it features a broken shaft. The broken shaft symbolizes Barbados’ historic break and eventual independence from the United Kingdom in 1966.
