Flags at Sea: A Guide to the Flags Flown at Sea by Ships of the Major Maritime Nations, from the 16th Century to the Present Day, Illustrated from the Collections - Softcover
Synopsis
This illustrated guide to the history of flags at sea deals with all the major naval powers during the Age of Sail and describes how flags were used for the all-important functions of identification and signalling.
The subject is one which has been obscured by curious myth and misunderstanding about where, when and why certain flags - like the piratical 'Jolly Roger' - were flown, and this book's clear narrative unravels these issues. It also tackles such apparently complicated issues as signalling in peace and war.
The profusion of illustrations give a degree of detail demanded by modelmakers, artists and historians.
