Ancient Order of the Deep
The Ancient Order of the Deep an initiation ritual dating back to early maritime history in which
sailors are changed from scurvy pollywogs into honorable and trusty Shellback's. This time honored rite of passage, steeped in tradition and marked by pomp and ceremony is one of the naval traditions experienced during a sailor's first time crossing the equator.
