Caption: Here Stood Hamilton Marker Detail - Vancouver's (2nd) Coat of Arms
Additional Description: Lauchlan Hamilton's, the Canadian Pacific Commissioner, not only began the initial process of laying out the City of Vancouver, he also designed the city's first coat of arms, which was in use from 1886 to 1903. Pictured above is the second version of the city's coat of arms, and bears little resemblance to Hamilton's version, except that it carries the same motto, "By Sea and Land We Prosper". The second version was replaced by the third version in 1969, which carried over many heraldic elements from the second version, and can be seen on the city's Heritage Building historical markers today.
