Official blazon
French	D'azur à la barque montée par cinq hommes, dont l'un d'entre eux s'apprête à harponner une baleine qui plonge dans les flots, le tout au naturel; au chef d'or chargé de trois coquilles au naturel, celle de senestre disparaissant sous un franc-canton de gueules à l'étoile d'argent.
English	blazon wanted

The arms show a whaler, as whaling was important for the city until the 16^th century.
