The Coat of Arms of Bermuda show a red lion holding a shield that has a depiction of a wrecked ship upon it. The red lion is a symbol for the England and alludes to Bermuda's relationship with that nation. The wrecked ship is the '' Sea Venture '', the flag ship of the Virginia Company . She was deliberately driven on to the reefs of Bermuda, by Admiral Sir George Somers, in 1609 , to prevent her foundering in a storm. All aboard survived, resulting in the settlement of the Island. The coat of arms is featured on the Colonial Flag (the national flag is the Union Jack, which appears in its upper, left corner), and on the Governor's Flag . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
