Semaphore Flag Set

This sewn Semaphore Code Signal Flag set features two 18" x 18" nylon red over yellow flags mounted on 3/4" x 24" staffs. The bright colors are visible at great distances.

The Semaphore flag signaling system is an alphabet signaling system based on the waving of a pair of hand-held flags in a particular pattern. Semaphores have been in use since the early 18th century and continue to be used by mariners at sea as well as signalmen ashore.
