Framed International Code of Signals Juliet (J) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of blue and white linen in three horizontal stripes, the flag retains its original canvas hoist, rope lanyard, and wooden toggle. International Code of Signals flags were used extensively by naval and merchant vessels to communicate essential operational and safety messages before the widespread use of radio communications, and they continue to form part of the international maritime signaling system.

When flown alone, the Juliet (J) flag means "I am on fire and have dangerous cargo on board; keep well clear of me." It serves as an urgent warning to nearby vessels to maintain a safe distance due to the heightened risk posed by hazardous cargo. This striking signal flag represents one of the most important emergency warnings in the International Code of Signals and is an excellent addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
