Harbor Patrol Trident Patch — Order This Fist and Roped Anchor Shield
Design S1858A at a glance
A shield with an olive border, built around a clenched fist gripping a trident above a roped anchor. Olive, khaki, gold and dark green give it a field-ready, almost military palette rather than the usual nautical navy. Four lettering fields carry a name line, a harbor patrol line, an established year and an agency line, and every one restitches to your marine unit.

About this fist, trident and anchor harbor design
The fist-and-trident combination signals command of the water, and the roped anchor below grounds it in day-to-day harbor work: moorings, docks and vessel checks. Rather than going with ocean blues, this shield is stitched in olive, khaki, gold and dark green, which looks at home on tactical boat crews and dock patrol uniforms alike. The shield outline keeps it formal enough for a department sleeve.
Order it as shown or adapt it: put your agency or waterway name on the top line, change the harbor patrol line to Marine Unit or Lake Patrol, set your founding year, or recolor the field in navy for a classic maritime look. 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 trident patch questions
Can this harbor shield be ordered in navy instead of olive?
Yes. Navy and gold, navy and white, or any marine palette works. Preview combinations in the markup tool and your quote will reference the colorway you pick.
Is PVC a better choice for boat crews?
For float coats, dry bags and anything that gets soaked, yes — PVC doesn't absorb water. Many units order embroidered for uniforms and PVC for boat gear in one quote.
Can the lettering show a lake or river unit instead?
Yes. The top line, the harbor patrol line, the year and the agency line all restitch, so it can read Marine Unit, Lake Patrol or any designation you need.
Can the fist and trident be replaced?
Yes. Send a photo or sketch of your boat, lighthouse or agency emblem and we redraw it over the anchor stitch-ready at no art charge.
How do I show you our changes?
Use the markup tool in the quote form to circle the trident or anchor, pin notes on the lettering and switch colorways. We receive the marked-up shield together with your quote.
