Maritime Signal Flags

Maritime signal flags are a set of colorful flags used by ships to communicate messages at sea without words. Each flag has its own design and meaning, representing letters, numbers, or specific signals like distress or safety. They can be combined to spell out messages or used individually to convey urgent information. These flags enable ships to communicate across language barriers and during radio outages, ensuring safety and coordination while navigating international waters. Proper use and understanding of these flags are essential for maritime safety and efficient communication among vessels.
