Signal flags have long
been used for communication between ships at sea. Over
time mariners developed a standard set of flags and
pennants for this purpose. This International code of
signal flag pennants consists of hand sewn cotton fabric
flags. There are 40 individual flags to a set. Each set
consists of one of each of the letters A thru Z & one of
each of the numerals 1 thru 10. (as shown in the picture
below), Each set
is approximately 364" in length (approximately 30ft)
and each flag is approximately 10" x 15",
