Framed International Code of Signals Lima (L) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of quartered yellow and black linen panels, 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, operational, and safety messages before the widespread adoption of radio communications, and they remain an internationally recognized maritime signaling system today.

When flown alone, the Lima (L) flag means "You should stop your vessel immediately." This important safety signal is used to instruct another vessel to halt without delay, often because of an immediate hazard or other urgent operational requirement. Its bold checkerboard pattern and unmistakable meaning make it one of the most recognizable flags in the International Code of Signals and an outstanding addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
