An explanation of Crossing the Line.
This is a page from a booklet which sets out HMS Emerald's 'Crossing the Line' ceremony of 16th/17th April 1933. The ceremony has a long tradition and takes place when a ship crosses the Equator. The page explains how the tradition of crossing the line emerged and why it is still carried out.
