The lion is the quintessential symbol of deathless courage, strength, and valour, while the \"gardant\" gaze emphasizes vigilance and wariness. In its dexter (right) paw, the lion holds an anchor upright. The anchor is the traditional heraldic emblem of succour, hope, and religious steadfastness; it often also indicates a family's historical connection to the sea or naval achievements. The flukes (hooks) of the anchor resting on the wreath symbolize a grounded stability and a firm foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(\"Plate 5, Crest 10\" Fairbairn, J. (1905).
