Summary edit

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for Larne
Description

This is the logo for Larne. Further details: The arms were granted in 1952.

The lower part of the shield shows a ship in sail on water. This was the unofficial device of the town before the official grant of arms. The chief is charged with a representation of the Castle of Olderfleet. The shuttles are for the linen industry.

The crest shows an arm grasping a corran or ancient Irish sickle. This is a punning reference to the Curran Ward area of Larne.

The supporters are swans standing for Swan's Island and also derive from the supporters of the Marquess of Ailsa. They are charged with flax flowers for heraldic difference.

The motto is FALCE MARIQUE POTENS or Powerful With the Sickle and on the Sea.
