Framed International Code of Signals Tango (T) Linen Flag

PRE-ORDER — ESTIMATED TO SHIP FROM SEPTEMBER 10

Framed International Code of Signals Tango (T) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of red, white, and blue linen in three vertical fields, the flag retains its original canvas hoist, rope lanyard, and wooden toggle. International Code of Signals flags were used extensively aboard naval and merchant vessels to communicate standardized navigational and operational messages before the widespread adoption of radio communications, and they continue to form part of the internationally recognized maritime signaling system.

When flown alone, the Tango (T) flag means "Keep clear of me; I am engaged in pair trawling." This signal is displayed by fishing vessels operating together while towing a single net, warning nearby traffic to maintain a safe distance because the vessels have restricted maneuverability. Its bold tricolor design and specialized role in commercial fishing operations make it an excellent addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
