The silver oar completes the allusion to the 1568 Charter as by this the Mayor was made "Admiral of the Port of Poole", a title he still bears as a courtesy title. The silver oar (which was really a mace rather than a rowing implement) is one of the rare items forming part of the civic regalia. The drawing of the mermaid and the dolphin have both been modernised in the new grant of arms; in the case of the dolphin the present representation does recognise that, unlike the times when the grant was first made, these are no longer imaginary beasts to most people, but are known as peaceful, smooth skinned and clever animals. In the older arms the dolphin was shown in its heraldic shape. | The silver oar completes the allusion to the 1568 Charter as by this the Mayor was made "Admiral of the Port of Poole", a title he still bears as a courtesy title.
