Description
This visually stunning reference book introduces children to the world of nautical codes, featuring a unique system of flags, morse code, the phonetic alphabet, and semaphore signaling.
Developed in the 19th century, the international maritime signal flag system is still in use today for communication between ships and shore. Each flag, with its bold colors, stands for a letter and a phrase relevant to seafaring, creating a beautiful and functional code that readers can use to code and decode messages of their own.
With its striking visuals and easy-to-understand explanations, this book is an ideal introduction to maritime communication for young readers.
