The present arms show in the base still a ship, but now officially the Santa Maria, the flagship of Columbus, who discovered the islands (and the Americas) in 1493. Instead of the crown, a rising sun was added. The new motto is Forward-Upward-Onward-Together. As a crest palm leaves and a shell were introduced. The supporters are a swordfish and a flamingo. | The present arms show in the base still a ship, but now officially the Santa Maria, the flagship of Columbus, who discovered the islands (and the Americas) in 1493.
