The lighthouse, anchor, and naval crown are emblematic of the Board's maritime authority, the lion in the arms of the State of New South Wales being here replaced by a sea lion to denote a maritime institution.
The two-masted vessel represents H.M.S. Supply, used by Captain Phillip when he arrived in Sydney Cove to found the first settlement in Australia, this vessel also appearing in the badge or device.
The Supporters are Port Jackson sharks, indigenous to the east coast of Australia, and named after the principal port in the area of the Board's jurisdiction.
