The Seal of Westarctica is a sterling silver seal that was created in 2004 under the direction of the [[Marquise of Walgreen|Grand Duchess Cathryn]] as a gift for [[Grand Duke Travis]]. The arms on the seal are the arms of the McHenry Family, but curiously, not the arms historically used by Travis McHenry's ancestors in Northern Ireland. The arms on the Seal of Westarctica show a falcon, while the historical arms of the McHenry-O'Cahans from Dunseverick contained three pelicans in a similar style to the arms of the Scottish Clan Henry. | The Seal of Westarctica is a sterling silver seal that was created in 2004 under the direction of the [[Marquise of Walgreen|Grand Duchess Cathryn]] as a gift for [[Grand Duke Travis]].
