Framed International Code of Signals Delta (D) Linen Flag

PRE-ORDER — ESTIMATED TO SHIP FROM SEPTEMBER 10

Framed International Code of Signals Delta (D) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of yellow and blue linen in three horizontal bands, the flag retains its original canvas hoist, rope lanyard, and wooden toggle. International Code of Signals flags were widely used aboard naval and merchant vessels to communicate standardized navigational and safety messages before the widespread adoption of radio communications, and they remain an internationally recognized system of maritime signaling today.

When flown alone, the Delta (D) flag means "Keep clear of me; I am maneuvering with difficulty." It warns nearby vessels that the ship has restricted maneuverability and requires additional sea room to operate safely. This highly recognizable signal plays an important role in collision avoidance and remains one of the most frequently encountered flags in modern maritime operations.
