The white horse represents [[Kent]] and the lion joined to a ship's hull is from the arms of the Cinque Ports, Ramsgate being a member of Sandwich. The dolphin, ship, naval crown and lighthouse are appropriate to a seaside resort and port. | |||

The arms are used again since 1990 by the Town Council. | |||
