The crest is the part above the shield, excluding the helmet. The wreath is a twist of cloth and the colours are those already mentioned vis white and green. A "Lymphad" is a sailing ship and "proper" means it is shown in its natural colours. The sail is set for sailing and a "Pennon" is the long flag flying from the mast and being "gules" it is red. The smaller flags are blue ("azure") and are also flying. In front of the ship is a whale and again "proper" means it is shown in its natural colours.
