Nautical Signalling - A Collection of Historical Boating Articles on Morse Code, Calls and Flags

This volume contains a curated collection of classic articles on the subject of boating and yachting, with information on signalling, Morse Code, flags, and many other related aspects.

Drawn from classic maritime publications (spanning the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries), this volume is an essential guide to the non-verbal systems that governed maritime safety, coordinated naval operations, and allowed long-distance communication before the ubiquity of modern radio and satellite technology. It details the standards every competent mariner was required to master.

Contents include:

• A Junior Teach Yourself Book: Sailing and Small Boats for Boys and Girls
• Sailing In a Nutshell: A Treatise in a Small Compass (Mariner's) on the Sea and How to Sail About It
• The Boatman's Manual: A Complete Manual of Boat Handling, Operation, Maintenance and Seamanship
• The Deck and Boat Book of the United States

Highly accessible and full of invaluable information, these articles are highly recommended for those with little previous experience, and would make for worthy additions to collections of allied literature.
