Domain of the Golden Dragon
The Domain of the Golden Dragon is an unofficial United States Navy award. It is given to crew members of ships which cross the International Date Line.(You enter the dragon's empire when you cross the International Date Line by sailing west (say some), or sailing east (say others). 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, will still find its way to a place on the wall of a sailor's den.
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, it was also available to British Sailors when crossing the international date line. The top of the certificate says 'Domain of the Golden Dragon', and beneath that it says ' Ruler of the 180th Meridian'.
The British copies were printed by Gale & Polden Ltd. Portsmouth, England. I have mine in front of me now, issued on the 19 Oct 1969 when serving on HMS Jaguar.
