Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 23, 1884, supporters on November 2, 1935.
The white horse represents Kent and the lion joined to a ship's hull is from the arms of the Cinque Ports, Ramsgate being a member of Sandwich. The dolphin, ship, naval crown and lighthouse are appropriate to a seaside resort and port.
The supportes were adopted to show Ramsgate's association with the sea through the Royal Harbour since 1760.
