A Navy seaman is considered a slimy Pollywog (one who hasn’t crossed the equator) until he has crossed the equator then he becomes a trusty Shellback. This film documents the activities that was done to commemorate the event. We transferred this 8mm film for a client and gave him High definition digital files. Note the appearance of King Neptune, his court and the royal baby whose stomach they have to kiss. It concludes with them taking a royal bath in a pool of sea water.
