Title A name given to the resource Cap Badge, United States Power Squadrons, Squadron Commander Description An account of the resource ca. 1940s. Cap badge worn by a Squadron Commander within the civilian organization, United States Power Squadrons (USPS). The central device does not have a hallmark. From present regulations (2020): "Cap device. The insigne worn on the uniform cap may include the wearer's rank if desired. As ranks tend to change frequently, it is suggested that the cap device without display of rank be used. When the cap device is incorporated on the casual, flat-top or baseball cap, the insigne of rank is not to be used. The cap device and the blazer patch share the same dimensions. The ship's wheel measures 1.5 inches across (end of handle to end of handle.) The wheel proper measures 1 inch across. For squadron and district officers, insignia are placed at the 9, 12 and 3 o'clock positions. Staff and rear commanders are placed at the 12 o'clock position and extend through the center of the ship's wheel. Vice commander's tridents are crossed at the center of the wheel and at 90o. The chief commander's three tridents are crossed at the center of the wheel and at 45o. Insignia other than tridents are placed at the 12 o'clock position. The blazer patch when worn without an insigne of rank is surrounded by a gold circle measuring 2.5 inches across and .13 inch in width. Note that this circle is not worn as part of the cap device. On both the cap and the blazer, the insignia of rank and grade are smaller in size than those on the uniforms. They are sized so that the insigne of a senior navigator measures 2.5 inches across (the same size as the gold circle). For squadron and district ranks, the tridents measure approximately 83 percent of the size of those on the uniform. National tridents extend through the ship's wheel and measure two inches overall."

It was acquired along with a USMS cap badge that dated from 1942-1945. I do not know which was worn first; although I suspect the States Line badge was first as officers, once they joined USMS, they donned those badges as opposed to company ones. The nut on the reverse of the badge is too corroded to determine the hallmark of the flag. http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/121/nommp-officer-1943-1.JPG eb36c8801240329e4551914af314cbbf http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/121/nommp-officer-1943-2.JPG b2780efa927586163b273947c29d6f96 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These individuals were called "Marine Operators" or "Lock Keepers." The cap badge is gilt-brass and is without hallmark. The design of the badge mirrors that of train and land transit professionals - stamped metal. At Mersey, lock keepers worked in towers by the side of the lock. When a ship is to enter the lock, the lock keepers sound a klaxon to warn pedestrians and vehicular traffic that the bridge at the lock is about to close. Afterward, barriers are let down, blocking access. The lift bridge across the lock is then raised and the lock gates opened. Warning lights at the lock then change from red to green indicating the vessel can now proceed into the lock. Water is pumped into or out of the lock, bringing the lock water to the correct level. http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/108/uk-cunard-1.JPG 6f9c97afdbd8314cf2e567f809ae4258 http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/108/uk-cunard-2.JPG e9c439aac6aa7927a7bb5150149b8629 http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/108/uk-cunard-3.JPG b41638fc497d41098bf022b081e4acef http://dittybag.ianewatts.org/collection/files/original/7/108/uk-cunard-4.JPG 96f3318eeb09f4796e6f3b9ccc23c0d4 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
