"The Gorham, Maine, Police Department patch prominently illustrates the historic fort in which early settlers found safe refuge during the French and Indian War. The Great Seal of Maine is shown below, depicting a farmer leaning on a scythe on the left and a sailor leaning on an anchor on the right. They represent Maine's strong agricultural and seafaring heritage. The moose at the center of the seal represents Maine's wildlife, while the adjacent pine tree is the symbol for Maine, nicknamed ""The Pine Tree State."""
