Domain of the Golden Dragon Crossing the International Date Line) PATCH

TheDomain of the Golden Dragon,Realm of the Golden Dragon,Imperial Order of the Golden Dragon, orSacred Order of the Golden Dragon, is an unofficial award given to crew members of ships which cross theInternational Date Line.

A sailor enters the dragon\'s empire when they cross the International Date Line by sailing west, where Asian nations celebrate the power of the dragon. The certificate is an unofficial award of theUnited States Navyand theUnited States Coast Guard. With the extensive Navy operations in the Far East since (and before) World War II, this passage has become so common that few initiation ceremonies are actually held. But the certificate, decorated with Chinese-style dragon, is still given out. It is also awarded to dependents travelling together with their Military Sponsor. This certificate was not only available to American sailors and other military branch members, but was also available to British Sailors when crossing the international date line. The British copies were printed by Gale & Polden Ltd. Portsmouth, England
