Just wanted to share a work in progress I made for the chesapeake pod. I was thinking of incorporating the motif of shipwrecks, because its a good aquatic image that I haven't used on any other coats of arms yet, and because the area has some historic civil war shipwrecks. Don't know if I want to stick with the shipwreck in the center there, but I like the thick boarder around the whole thing.

Thoughts? Can you guys come up with some good symbolic stuff for your area, particularly aquatic stuff?
