Framed International Code of Signals Victor (V) Linen Flag

PRE-ORDER — ESTIMATED TO SHIP FROM AUGUST 15

Framed International Code of Signals Victor (V) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of white linen with a red diagonal saltire, the flag retains its original heavy canvas hoist, rope lanyard, and wooden toggle. Used aboard merchant and naval vessels, alphabet signal flags formed part of the International Code of Signals, enabling ships to communicate navigational, operational, and emergency messages between vessels and shore stations.

When raised alone, the Victor flag signified "I require assistance," indicating that the vessel was requesting help from nearby ships or shore authorities. A well-presented mid-century maritime display piece, ideal for collectors of naval and nautical memorabilia.
