Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on August 3, 1919.
The tower in the arms symbolises the fortifications in the city, the lion is the symbol of the power to defend the fortress. The meaning of the oak trees I don't know. The sea indicates that the city is a harbour town. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of the French Kings and the old arms of France.
Before 1919 the city used a canting bayonet as arms.
