Signal Flag Alphabet

The Signal Flag Alphabet is a set of colorful flags used internationally for visual communication between ships and maritime stations. Each flag represents a letter, number, or message code, allowing quick and effective exchange of information without words. The flags are easily recognizable from a distance, especially in noisy or crowded environments. This system is vital for safety, navigation, and coordination at sea, enabling crews to convey instructions, warnings, or identifiers clearly and efficiently. The signal flags are standardized globally, ensuring consistent understanding regardless of language barriers.
