Framed International Code of Signals X-ray (X) Linen Flag

PRE-ORDER — ESTIMATED TO SHIP FROM AUGUST 20 Framed International Code of Signals X-ray (X) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of white linen with a blue cross, the flag retains its original heavy canvas hoist, rope lanyard, and wooden toggle. Used aboard merchant and naval vessels, alphabet signal flags formed part of the International Code of Signals, enabling ships to communicate navigational, operational, and emergency messages between vessels and shore stations. When raised alone, the X-ray flag signified "Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals," instructing another vessel to suspend its intended actions and await further communication. A well-presented mid-century maritime display piece, ideal for collectors of naval and nautical memorabilia. Weight: 6 lbs.
