Letter “B” Bravo Signal Flag

This Bravo signal flag is a real piece of maritime history. It came off a vessel that was headed for scrap, but it was never used. The flag remains unwashed and in excellent condition—exactly as found. With no signs of wear, it’s a clean and authentic item for any maritime collection or display.

In nautical communication, the Bravo signal flag represents the letter B. Crews use it to warn that they’re handling or transporting hazardous cargo, especially during fueling or explosives transfer. In the Victor Code, it also signals that the vessel needs assistance—such as when radio communication is down. When flown with the Romeo flag, it can indicate a request for helicopter support.

This is a solid example of an unused, display-ready signal flag with meaning and character.
