Significance of the elements of the coat of arms:

The ship at sea in full sail is a reference to the city's trading base, and to the Manchester Ship Canal. The terrestrial globe signifies Manchester's world trade, and the swarm of flying bees are a symbol of industry - Manchester being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. On the right a golden lion stands crowned with a castle (a reference to the Roman fort at Castlefield from which the city originated). The lion and antelope both wear the Lancashire Rose.
