Royal Navy Sweetheart Badge

Probably not RN, but any ID help really welcomed...

Whilst the short answer is that I don't know, however it has the Staffordshire knot on it so that might lead you / us somewhere.

Regards

Found a pic of a similar style badge , described as "Canadian Pacific Line" .

It may be a club badge.

Staffordshire has a number of sailing and boat clubs, but the steering wheel suggests a motor boat club.
Why not ask this club: http://www.staffordcoastalcruising.org/

It is an excellent find, but the blocks of Canadian Pacific are all red and white.
If I am correct the centre top block of this badge is blue.

I noticed that as well but thought that with the similarities in the badges the one in question may have some connection to another "merchant" ship ?

Many thanks for all the replies - I have now sent an email to the Staffs Club and will post any reply from them for your information.

The knot is upside down for a Staffordshire Knot. It is a simple overhand knot that has numerous sailing and maritime uses.

I thought the same , a basic 'symbol' to represent lines/knots.

Had another (close up) look and wonder if the red enamel has been damaged/lost from the top square , bottom right one appears to have damage to enamel ?
