Shellback certificate

I was onboard the Hawk in 84-86, and crossed the equator twice making me a golden shellback. I lost my certificate and wondering where I can get a copy of it. Thanks.

Re: Shellback certificate

i may be mistaken but i thought you becme a golden shellback when you crossed the equater at the international date line . not for crossing it twice . i to would like to know where to get a copy of mine . i crossed on west-pac 77-78 onboard the kitty hawk somewhere south of singapore

Re: Shellback certificate

Hi Dennis & Jim,
I just looked at mine and here is what you should have. First you get a card for crossing the equator and second time you get the (Brotherhood of horned Shellbacks.) The golden Dragon one is for the International Dateline card. Not sure how to get them.Good luck.
