Description of the flag

The flag can be seen in http://harddeadlines.com/2016/03/07/portsmouth-celebrates-founding-display-1638-compact. It is medium blue with seven wavy yellow stars.

In https://riliberator.com/2020/08/28/friday-flagging-portsmouth/, the flag is described in detail, but I think the stars look different.

The RI Liberator version is close, but the stars have to be thicker and have some kind of circle in the middle.

[Estoille]

As the creator of the image and blog post on RI Liberator, I'm fully transparent there that this an adjustment of the Portsmouth flag since I personally didn't find the estoiles in John McDaid's image aesthetically pleasing (in addition, arrangement is largely conjecture). This close-up of the Portsmouth flag as displayed in the RI State House was taken in October of 2021, and displays a different style of estoile. So there is at least disagreement between different government sources.
