Photograph of a canvas print illustrating the international nautical signal flags.


A photograph of a canvas print illustrating the international nautical signal flags. The flags are used to signal between two ships or between ship and shore during radio silence. A single flag may be used to communicate a specific meaning (ie the letter P or the 'Plue Peter' flag is used to indicate that the ship is about to set sail) or they may be used as individual letters of the alphabet to spell out words.
