Authentic Vintage Answering Pennant – Salvaged Nautical Signal Flag 130″ x 40″

This authentic vintage Answering Pennant came from a working vessel during salvage operations. Crews removed it before the ship went to scrap, so it stays in its original condition. It has not been cleaned or altered. The fabric shows natural wear from time at sea, and these marks add to its authentic look. As a result, the pennant reflects real maritime use rather than reproduction.

The pennant measures 130 inches by 40 inches, so it creates a strong and elongated display. Its red and white vertical stripes with a red fly stand out and draw attention. In the International Code of Signals system, the answering pennant played an important role. Crews raised it to confirm they received and understood a signal, which made it essential for clear communication at sea.
