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.
