The right to wear Doggett's Coat and Badge is the prize in a rowing race
held yearly since 1715 between London Bridge and Cadogan Pier, Chelsea
in London. It was initiated by Thomas Doggett to commemorate the
coronation of George I. The badge is silver and shows the white horse of
Hannover. The race is now held in July.
