Grandpa Brown's Naval Service Certificates (Scrapbook Photos Pt. 2)

Bruce mentioned the "Crowning King Neptune" ritual earlier.  These are related certificates that Grandpa received as he passed certain parts of the globe and was inducted into various naval orders.  (I posted a definition of the ritual earlier).  He does have some photos of the actual King Neptune ceremony.  I'll add those in a later post.
