About this ship's wheel and domed building harbor design
Harbor units patrol where a city meets the water, and this design says so in one emblem: the ship's wheel and water for the marine side of the job, the domed building for the civic one, and a sunburst and crown for ceremony. Black, gold and grey keep it formal enough for dress wear while staying legible on a dark float coat.
Adjust it before it stitches: put your town and department in the lettering, update the established year, or redraw the dome as your own city hall or harbor master's office. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.

Harbor patrol ship wheel patch questions
Can the domed building become our own city hall?
Yes. Send a photo of your building and we redraw it beside the wheel at no art charge — your proof shows it in place before anything stitches.
Which backing holds up on gear that gets wet?
Sew-on is the most secure choice for anything that sees spray or rain. Hook-side velcro also holds well and lets crews move one patch between a float coat and a duty shirt.
Can all four lettering lines be changed?
Yes. Town name, harbor patrol line, established year and department line each restitch to your wording at no extra cost.
Will the sunburst and crown stay sharp at shoulder size?
At 3.5 inches and up, yes. Below that we thin the sunburst rays slightly on your proof so the crown keeps its shape.
How do I send changes to this design?
Open the markup tool in the quote form, circle the dome or the crown, pin a note on each lettering line and try another colorway. The marked-up version travels with your quote.
