Interesting...it is actually a misspelling of a classic English maxim (in latin), meaning "After so many shipwrecks, we reach a port". ; The true latin spelling of the center word is 'Naufragia', meaning shipwreck.

This was the official motto of a powerful English nobleman, known as the Earl of Sandwich.

Just thought that interesting sidenote might be enlightening.

Now, where could this coat of arms be?
