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, 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 November (N) flag means "No" or "Negative." It is used to convey a negative response to a question or signal. When flown together with the Charlie (C) flag as the NC signal, it forms the internationally recognized distress message meaning "I am in distress and require immediate assistance." Its distinctive checkerboard design and important role in maritime communications make it an excellent addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
