eBay

Up for sale are seven double-sided pages of information essential to any Yachtsman's understanding of flags and signals. The pages come from a 1918 edition of the Yachtsmen's Guide, and provide colorful graphics of all kinds of flags, plus text describing the proper use of maritime flags and signals.
Here's a list of the topics:
Instructions for Obtaining Help from the Life Saving Service
Signals of Distress
Flags and How Flown
Signals for Pilot or Towboat
International Code of Symbols (including how to make and answer a signal)
Alphabetical International Code of Signals
United States Weather Signals and Storm Warnings
Flags of Principal Maritime Countries (5 pages)
Two pages of Flag company advertisements

Each page measures about 6 x 9" and all are in very good condition, with a few

dog-eared corners or tiny edge nicks, slight folds, but all complete and totally readable. A few pages with normal surface soiling or minor stains. These pages were removed from the 1918 Yachtsman's Guide.
