Arms (crest) of Fleetwood

Official blazon

Arms : Per saltire nebuly Or and Azure in chief a Rose Gules barbed and seeded proper in base an Ancient Galley of the third and in fesse two Martlets of the first.
Motto: 'ONWARD'

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 25, 1933.

The main colours of gold and blue, the nebuly dividing lines and the martlets are from the arms of the Fleetwood family with particular reference to Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwwod, who laid out the town and gave it its name. It was the first planned town of the Victorian era. The red rose refers to Lancashire and the galley to the deep-sea fishing port and that Fleetwood is the believed location of the lost Roman port of Portus Setantorium.
