SAS Drakensburg SA Navy ship – Equator Neptune crossing Cert – framed 1990

Framed Equator crossing certificate SAS Drakensberg.   Below is a short piece from Google.  Non reflective glass.   I can ship it without the frame and glass to ensure non breakage.  Chief Warrent Officer Madeley received this scroll.  Dont hesitate to ask any questions.

The SAS Drakensberg participated in the traditional naval “line-crossing ceremony” when crossing the Equator, which is a customary initiation rite for sailors. During this ceremony, those crossing for the first time—called “pollywogs”—are initiated and often receive certificates or scrolls recognizing their crossing and new status as “shellbacks.”

While information specific to the SAS Drakensberg issuing scrolls or certificates directly is not explicitly detailed in the sources, it is standard naval tradition globally to issue such certificates for Equator crossings. Given that the Drakensberg carried out the ceremony, it is highly likely that scrolls or certificates were issued to crew members who crossed the Equator for the first time, following naval custom.
