The arms and their blazon
A royal resolution established the arms for the town in 1946. In 1974 the municipal council adopted the same arms for the newly formed municipality.
Background in the municipal sources
The municipality’s archived resolution provides the dates and blazon. It does not explain any symbolic meaning for the anchor or cogwheels.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
