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 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 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." It is displayed by fishing vessels operating together while towing a single fishing net, warning nearby vessels to maintain a safe distance because of their restricted maneuverability. Its clean tricolor design and specialized role in commercial fishing operations make it an excellent addition to any collection of naval or nautical memorabilia.
