History [ edit ]
Montserrat was first sighted and named by Christopher Columbus in November 1493, during his second journey to the West Indies . It became a colony of the Kingdom of England in 1632, when Thomas Warner – the first governor of Saint Christopher – sent Irish Catholics from his territory to Montserrat.[1] Colony of Virginia consequently moved to the island.[1] [1] Peace of Paris saw France permanently relinquish the island to the United Kingdom .[1] [2]
1929 stamp with the arms
Montserrat joined the British Leeward Islands federation in 1871.[1] [2] A Royal Warrant was issued on 10 April 1909 granting the island its own shield, along with Antigua , Dominica , Saint Kitts and Nevis , and the Virgin Islands . The shields of each of these territories formed part of the coat of arms of the British Leeward Islands .[3] West Indies Federation when it was created two years later.[1] [2] [4] crown colony in 1962.[5] [6]
Symbolism [ edit ]
The colours and objects on the coat of arms carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The woman wearing a green dress is Erin , the national personification of Ireland .[7] [8] Celtic harp she is clutching is another representation of that country.[9] [1] [6] British Leeward Islands in 1678 found that 70% of the island's white residents claimed Irish ancestry, marking the highest concentration of Irish inhabitants in the federation.[8] cross recognises the Christian heritage of the island,[6] [A] Christ .[11]
The shield from the arms features on the flag of Montserrat ,[6] territory's governor .[12]
