During the 1870s, [Britain allowed the Turks and Caicos Islands territory] its own badge to be utilised on its flag. This consisted of two mounds of salt on land in the foreground, awaiting to be loaded onto a ship in the background. A door was erroneously added to one of the mounds, however, when the designer or an official at the Admiralty reportedly mistook the salt mounds for igloos. This was not rectified up until a new coat of arms was instituted in the 1960s.
