Coat of Arms of Tristan da Cunha
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COA : Coat of Arms of Tristan da Cunha
The Coat of Arms of Tristan da Cunha were granted in 2002. Prior to this, as a dependancy of Saint Helena, Tristan da Cunha used their coat of arms.
The Arms consist of a shield, featuring four Albatrosses in a blue and white mirror image design. The two supporters are Tristan da Cunha Lobsters, which are found in the waters surrounding the island. The crest features a naval crown, and a Tristan da Cunha longboat.
The motto is Our faith is our strength.
The Arms feature on the Flag of Tristan da Cunha, and on the defaced Union Flag used by the Administrator.
