The Rich History of Ships Emblems; Meaning, Tradition and Respect
When we think of ships cutting through the ocean, we see more than just transport or weaponry. Each vessel carries a history—a tale of courage, unity, and national pride. At the core of this history lies the ships emblem, a symbol that holds meaning beyond adornment. Let’s explore the realm of ship emblems unraveling their beginnings, importance and lasting presence in customs.
The Origins of Maritime Symbols
Like the salt spray clinging to a ships bow over time maritime symbols have endured centuries of history. Their origins can be traced back to the century when knights used symbols on their shields for recognition, in battle. With ships taking over from horses this practice evolved into symbols—a means of identification embraced by vessels starting from the 19th century.
Heraldic symbols, like carved figureheads, painted shields and ships crests served as markers for sailors. These emblems helped them identify their ships amidst the chaos of battle or rough seas.
Sense of Unity and Pride
Ship crests were more, than symbols; they were symbols of unity. Crew members take pride in their ship. The crest represents their shared mission, valor and bravery.
Symbolism of Protection and Fortune
Sailors believed that figureheads and crests brought luck and safeguarded the ship. These symbols were not merely objects made of wood or metal; they were protectors of the vessel and its crew.
In the Medieval era European ships often featured symbols or animals, like dragons, lions or eagles for both symbolic purposes. These figureheads represented strength and protection.
As ships advanced in design their heraldry evolved alongside. The shields of 12th century knights transformed into crests for ships. These emblems symbolized the ships’ identity, purpose, and crew being more than an element; it embodies the essence of the vessel.
Basic Understanding of a United States Ship’s Crest
Definition; A ships crest is an emblem created specifically for that ship. It acts as a symbol of the ship’s history, mission and crew.
Placement; Ships crests can be found on patches worn by the crew. Displayed on plaques, throughout the ship. They are also replicated on hats, stationery, trophies and keepsakes associated with the vessel.
Responsibilities of the Commanding Officer; The initial Commanding Officer (CO) of a ship holds the privilege of choosing the crests design. This decision is significant as the crest will serve as a lasting symbol, for the ship.
