WEXFORD
County : Wexford
Official blazon
Argent, three lymphads flammant with pennons all proper, with the Motto: Per Aquam et Ignem.
Origin/meaning
There is no record of a formal grant of the Arms but it was registered at the time of the 1618 Heraldic Visitation. The records of the Visitation show, or would appear to show, that the Arms were in existence before that time.
Regarding the three burning ships, there two are different theories as to their significance:
1. Three ships which were being built in the dockyard at Kaat's Strand were set alight by a marauding party.
2. A marauding party left three ships at anchor in Wexford Bay and local inhabitants set them alight.
The motto translates as "through fire and water".
 The arms in the Coffee Hag albums +/- 1935 |
