Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1944.
The arms combine the elements of two old seals of the city: the tower from a seal from the 16th century and the ship from a seal from the 19th century.
The fortress tower symbolises the fortifications since the days of King Gustav Vasa. The ship refers to the importance of the city as a harbour.

The arms in the Kaffe Hag album +/- 1935 |
