CLARK’S HARBOUR, NS (Canada)
Design 1a
Official symbols

Clark’s Harbour is a small municipality in southwestern Nova Scotia, and home of the famous Cape Islander lobster and fishing boat design. The town has its own coat of arms (pic 2), from where this first design takes most of its symbols as is, including the Cape Islander rendering I am not a fan of as it is complicated and doesn’t look like any I see in pictures. However, I will start with the basics for the sake of using official symbols, and show evolution from there with posts following this in the coming days.

The flag features the CoA Cape Islander with colours added to it, heading “home” to the hoist, on a barely wavy ocean of CoA blue, beneath clear skies of white, with the “cross crosslet” in the sky as a guidance symbol. Lobster and other ocean boat fishing can be a dangerous profession so clear skies and a boat coming home are meaningful symbols deliberately chosen.

Constructive criticisms welcomed. Thank you.
