Do I have to tell you the following is based on [c2j87].
The blazon could be: azure a ship's wheel or. In the original: I blått et gull
skipsratt.
It was approved by the royal resolution of 12 December 1986 and the artwork is by
Svein J. Haugholt.
However, the coat of arms is actually older that that. Bamble was formed in 1964
by unification of the municipalities of Langesund and Stathelle. The later used
basically the same coat of arms drawn by A. B. Nagel-Alne and approved by the
King on 09.04.1954. The coat of arms and the flag design, of course, refer to
the close connection the municipality has with navigation.
