The pelican is the totem animal of the island of St. Barth (as you can see on their flag). So the mug represents the island still surviving up on the floating glass fish float ball, despite the trouble endured with Hurricane Irma. On the beak there is a representation of Hector (the palm tree braving the wind as seen in the internet video). So all told, this mug symbolizes the pride and bravery of the island.
