In 1899 the, now British, governor discovered that the arms were never recorded at the College of Arms in London. He thus applied to the College of Arms to approve the arms, as well as augmentation with crest, supporters etc. The College of Arms granted the above arms. Unfortunately the whole old arms were placed in a shield. The female figure represents Good Hope, the lion is the British lion, but could also be the Dutch lion. The crest shows symbols for the harbour, the motto means Good Hope. | In 1899 the, now British, governor discovered that the arms were never recorded at the College of Arms in London.
