Description
Three Shellback patches in one set: the Ancient Order of the Shellback King Neptune patch, the Shellback King Neptune hat patch and the Golden Shellback patch.
A sailor becomes a Shellback the day his ship crosses the Equator and he comes through King Neptune's court. A Golden Shellback crossed where the Equator meets the 180th meridian, a track across the middle of the Pacific that plenty of career sailors never sailed. This set covers both, plus a hat-size King Neptune patch for the ball cap.
