Arms of Sandefjord

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 9, 1914.

The Viking ship symbolises the famous Gokstad ship, that was found near Sandefjord in 1880, one of the best preserved Vikings ships known. The whale symbolises the fact that in the late 19th and early 20th century Sandefjord was a main harbour for whalers in the Southern oceans.
