Framed International Code of Signals Mike (M) Linen Flag

PRE-ORDER — ESTIMATED TO SHIP FROM AUGUST 20

Framed International Code of Signals Mike (M) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of blue linen with a bold white saltire, 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 operational messages before the widespread use of radio communications, and they continue to serve as an internationally recognized system of maritime signaling.

When flown alone, the Mike (M) flag means "My vessel is stopped and making no way through the water." It informs nearby vessels that the ship is stationary relative to the water, providing important navigational information to help prevent misunderstandings and ensure safe passage. Its striking blue-and-white design and practical maritime significance make it an excellent addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
