About the Item

Framed International Code of Signals Delta (D) maritime signal flag, professionally mounted within a shadow box display. Constructed of yellow and blue horizontal linen bands, the flag retains its original canvas hoist, rope lanyard, and wooden toggle. When flown alone, the Delta (D) flag means "Keep clear of me; I am maneuvering with difficulty." It is displayed by vessels that have limited ability to maneuver safely, warning nearby traffic to maintain a safe distance and exercise caution while passing. The canvas hoist bears the Annin Flag Company "Defiance" label. Annin is America's oldest flag maker. International Code of Signals flags were widely used aboard naval and merchant vessels to communicate standardized navigational, operational, and safety messages before the widespread adoption of radio communications, and they remain an internationally recognized maritime signaling system today.
