This signal flag represents the number 3 in the NATO system which has a different range of flags representing numbers to the International Code of Signals system. Nearly all mariti me nations recognise the same flag signal alphabet. They were used to spell out short messages to each other between ships. Strung end to end and hung bow to stern from the rigging they were used to dress up ships for ceremonial and festive occasions. Today they make great coastal home decor and are meant to stand up to the ocean winds. Cotton/nylon blend with a stitched design. Strong & light-weight. Measures approx: 152cm x 102cm Show more
