Our vintage boatswain whistle is a copy of whistle from the original
boatswain that was used in the 1940s to pass orders to the crew. It is
also called a bosun whistle.
The bosun’s whistle consists of a tiny
tube that guides air over a metal sphere with a hole in the center. The
remainder of the antique whistle is a flat piece of metal under the tube
that holds the call together, and a keyring that links a long chain
that sits around the neck.
This boatswain whistle is also the
official badge of the Quartermaster, Chief Boatswain's Mate, and
Boatswain's Mate and also in the Sea Cadets.
