Framed International Code of Signals November (N) Linen Flag

PRE-ORDER — ESTIMATED TO SHIP FROM AUGUST 20

Framed International Code of Signals November (N) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of alternating blue and white linen squares in a classic checkerboard arrangement, 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 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 November (N) flag means "No" (Negative). It is used as a clear negative response to a previously transmitted question or signal. When paired with the Charlie (C) flag, however, the combined NC signal becomes one of the most universally recognized distress signals at sea, meaning "I am in distress and require immediate assistance." Its distinctive checkerboard design and important role in maritime communication make it a desirable addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
