    Hi Vernon
    Can't say I ever saw the picture you have submitted as a badge but I feel sure it was used in UCL advertising. However I will stand corrected but the picture do's ring bells in the old brain box
    Regards

    Default UCL Badge

    Hi Vernon. When I saw that advertised on E-Bay,I feel sure that it was advertised as a UCL Stewards Cap Badge. Did the Deck Stewards wear caps?.I can imagine them wearing caps with that type of badge. i.e. minus the gold wreath which of course the company's Officers would have worn.
    or:-

    Maybe it is also the badge that catering staff/stewards would wear on their white jackets or shirts?

    Default Badge!

    Hi Geoff
    Yes the Pic you put first is the one i too remember,dont know about the second one (the prawn haha)
    Cant remember if there was any Caps worn(by catering) in the earlier days,but very much doubt it!
    Anyway will keep on searching,and hope you Lads will possibly come up with some answer,as this is just not on haha!
    Thanks for all replies thus far!
    Cheers

    No Vernon do not ever recall any catering staff wearing any form of badge, apart from a hangover that is. Do not recall anything like the one you have put up. Could it be something to do with Safmarine by any chance?
