Ye Antient Order of Noble Corks
Ye Antient Order of Noble Corks (American usage) or Ancient & Honourable Societas Korcorum Magnae Britanniae (Noble Order of Corks) (English usage), universally known, informally, as The Cork, is an informal degree allied to Freemasonry.〔(York Rite Freemasonry: description of degrees, (accessed 16 Oct 2006) )〕 It is described as a "fun" degree, with charitable fund raising as a principal aim.
==Origins==
Distinctly nautical in form, its membership is open to Master Masons in good standing who are either a companion in the Holy Royal Arch or a Warden, Master or Past Master of a craft Lodge. The title 'Cork' or 'Corks' is derived from the cork stopper of a wine bottle, which is the organisation's principal emblem. In different countries this emblem appears variously as a miniature cork set in a silver clasp (for carrying), or a small cork suspended from a light blue ribon (to be worn like a medal), or the image of a cork with a corkscrew inserted at an angle.〔(Emblem ), used in the USA, from Allied Masonic Degrees web,(accessed 17 October 2006)〕
The origins of the degree ceremony are unknown; the ritual is satirical and based around the era of Noah and the great flood. The earliest surviving records of the degree are held by the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of England, but this cannot be assumed to demonstrate that the degree originated from that organisation.
