About this tall ship and anchor harbor patrol design
Harbor units have some of the deepest traditions in policing, and a tall ship says so without a word. Setting it on an anchor ties it to the water, and the compass star adds navigation. Royal blue, white and gold are the colors of the sea service, crisp against a navy uniform and bright enough to read across a dock.
Design your own version: put your department, unit and years in the lettering, redraw the tall ship as your own patrol boat, or swap the compass star for a police star. 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.

Police harbor patrol patch questions
Can the tall ship become our patrol boat?
Yes. Send a photo and we redraw your boat on the anchor at no art charge.
Can the year lines be combined?
Yes. Every lettering line restitches, so two year lines can merge into one or be removed.
Is PVC available for float coats?
Yes. Order PVC and embroidered versions from the same approved art and the colors will match.
What size keeps the rigging clear?
Order 4" or larger; below that the proof simplifies the sails.
How do I send changes on the ship patch?
Draw on the ship or anchor with the markup tool in the quote form, pin notes and pick colors. The marked-up version is submitted with your quote.
