Nautical signal flags make the perfect nautical decorating theme. Spell out your favorite child's name. Also, they're perfect for a nautical themed party.
The system of international maritime signal flags is a system of flag signals representing individual letters of the alphabet in signals to or from ships. It is a component of the International Code of Signals.
Nautical Signal Flags
Signal flags are used to communicate messages, at times because radio silence is required. Here are their names and meanings, both international and/or specific to the Navy, as well as meanings when used in a Sailing Regatta.
There is also a signaling system called Semaphore which uses the position of the flags relative to a person to denote the letter.
