The saint after which the City is named is symbolised on the shield by the lamb, carrying a banner bearing St. George's Cross, and scalloped shells. The ship, sailing on waves at the top of the shield, refers to the province's early discovers and explorers. The shield is supported on the left by a mariner of the fifteen<sup>th</sup> century bearing the year the island was discovered by Cabot. The supporter on the right is a mariner of the late sixteen<sup>th</sup> century, bearing the date 1583 - the year Sir Humphrey Gilbert claimed the island for England. The stone wall of the crest stands for civic authority, while the lion and roses refer back to the City's British heritage. "Avancez" or "advance", the City's motto, can be seen at the base of the coat of arms. | The saint after which the City is named is symbolised on the shield by the lamb, carrying a banner bearing St. George's Cross, and scalloped shells.
