Description
The ceremony of crossing the line
Going from “pollywog” to “shellback” is an old maritime tradition that commemorates a sailors first crossing of the equator. It is always overseen by King Neptune. If he for some reason can not be present, the most experienced sailor aboard will lead the ceremony. The ceremony often includes some embarassing parts for the pollywog, followed by champagne or rum.
Once the ceremony is finished, the pollywogs are awarded their certificates and join the Sons of Neptune.
