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 adoption of radio communications, and they continue to serve as an internationally recognized system of maritime signaling today.

When flown alone, the Mike (M) flag means "My vessel is stopped and making no way through the water." This signal informs nearby vessels that the ship is stationary relative to the water and not making headway, allowing other mariners to navigate safely around it. Its bold blue-and-white design and enduring role in maritime communication make it an excellent addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
