The oldest known seal of Wismar dates from around 1250 and already shows the Kogge-ship, the typical trading vessel of the time, and the principal ship of the Hanseatic League. The three fish indicate the importance of sailing and fishing for the city. The meaning of the seagull on the front of the ship is not known. The small shield on the mast shows the arms of the Duchy of Mecklenburg, to which the city belonged. | The oldest known seal of Wismar dates from around 1250 and already shows the Kogge-ship, the typical trading vessel of the time, and the principal ship of the Hanseatic League.
