Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 7, 1933.

The ship represents Goole's seafaring interests, past and present. The swans are from the arms of Selby Abbey, which was a considerable landholder in the area before its dissolution.

The Viking supporters refer to the Norse sea-rovers who settled along the River Humber.
