# Coat of arms of Sydney

The coat of arms of Sydney was granted to the city on 30 July 1908 by England's College of Arms. It features a three-masted ship on a gold and blue background, along with symbols pertaining to various figures in Sydney's history (namely Viscount Sydney, Governor Phillip, Captain Cook, and Sir Thomas Hughes). The crest is an anchor encircled by a mural crown and surmounted by a six-pointed star, and the supporters are an Aboriginal and an 18th-century British seaman. The motto is "I take but I surrender". An interpretation published alongside the grant of arms explains this as follows:
   The English landing party took possession from the aborigine, and in turn surrendered it to that growing nationality of which the settlement of the City of Sydney was the foundation.
In 1996, the arms were extensively redesigned. The redesign simplified the arms, removing the motto and replacing the human supporters with a snake and a coiled rope. The snake represents the Rainbow Serpent, an Aboriginal creator-being. It is adorned with markings used by the Eora people, the original inhabitants of Port Jackson. The rope, a maritime symbol, "highlights the diverse cultural origins of the people of Sydney", and, entwined with the snake, "suggests cultural harmony".

## History

From 1857 until 1908, the City of Sydney used variations on a design for the city seal by draughtsman M. de St Remy. This design, which was never officially granted, featured a shield with a rising sun, a common symbol in early Australian heraldry representing the growth of the new colony, and a ship, representing Sydney's maritime heritage. The sun was later replaced with a beehive, a traditional symbol of industry. Like later iterations of the arms, the design included an Aboriginal and a British sailor and the motto "I take but I surrender".
In 1902, Sir Thomas Hughes became the first Lord Mayor of Sydney. Hughes suggested that the council commission a new coat of arms and submit a petition to the College of Arms in London. The new arms, designed by William Frederic Ward, drew on de St Remy's design, but also included elements from the arms of Viscount Sidney and Captain Cook. The final version, granted in 1908, also included the arms of Hughes himself.
# John T. Hogeboom

John T. Hogeboom (January 31, 1816 – February 11, 1886) was an American lawyer, farmer, and politician from New York.

## Life

Hogeboom was born on January 31, 1816, in Ghent, New York, the son of Tobias L. Hogeboom. He was a descendant of John Howland of the Mayflower.
Hogeboom attended Kinderhook Academy and was a pupil at Amos Eaton's school. He graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1833, and began studying law with Wilcoxson & Bramhall in Kinderhook. He completed his law studies with McKay & Bramhall in Buffalo, and when he was admitted to the bar in 1837 he formed a partnership and practiced law with them. He then moved to Nassau in 1840 and practiced law there. At that point he became active in politics, and after addressing 60 open-air mass-meetings in the 1844 campaign his voice was ruined. He then decided to leave his law practice and to work as a farmer in Ghent.
Despite his retirement to a farm, Hogeboom remained politically active, especially in regards to slavery. His father was an advocate for abolishing slavery in the state of New York, even though he was a slave owner himself. Following his father's example, he became a vocal opponent of the institution. Initially a Democrat, he was a member of the Barnburners faction and one of 100 New York Democrats to protest the nomination of James Buchanan and the national Democratic platform.
Following the 1846 New York Constitutional Convention, Hogeboom served as county judge for two terms. He was unanimously nominated for a third term, but he refused as by then he believed he would soon leave the Democratic Party. He joined the Republican Party upon its formation but declined a nomination from them to Congress. He was nominated and elected to the New York State Assembly by them, serving in the Assembly in 1857 representing the Columbia County 2nd District. In the 1857 New York state election, he was the Republican candidate for New York State Treasurer, but he lost the election to Isaac V. Vanderpoel. He was a delegate to the 1860 Republican National Convention. In 1875, he was elected back to the Assembly, again representing the Columbia County 2nd District, and served in the Assembly in 1876 and 1877. He also served as United States appraiser and general appraiser for the Port of New York for 12 years.
In 1842, Hogeboom married Sarah McClellan of Nassau. They had five children.
Hogeboom died at home on February 11, 1886. He was buried in Ghent Union Cemetery.
