^be Zovon Seal 



Adopted November 5, 1898. 



Explanation. — The scene with its ledges and breakers illustrates the meaning 

 of the word Cohasset — " A-Iong-rocky-place." 



Minot Lighthouse and White Head are shown with two old fishing scliooners 

 at the entrance of the harbor. 



The three buildings, Town Hall, Osgood School, and First Church, symbolize 

 the three functions of town life — the municipal, the educational, and the religious. 



The town had never adopted a seal, and the Committee on Town History 

 recommended this one devised by the author of this book, after modifying it in 

 some details.
