===Official blazon=== | ===Official blazon=== | ||
Azure, a bridge of three arches ensigned by a Latin cross and in base three bars wavy all argent | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The tinctures, blue and silver, are those of the Mother of God, who is patroness of the United States under the title of her Immaculate Conception. <br> | |||
The silver bridge above the wavy bars is a canting element. The wavy blue and silver lines beneath the bridge represent water and are an adequate expression of "port" in the name of the city. | |||
The Cross of Our Faith above the bridge dignifies the other symbols and identifies the coat as that of a jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Church. | |||
