Signal Flag Mike - My Vessel is Stopped

Ours are genuine nautical flags from a cache we discovered in Germany. Because these are found, vintage flags, each is unique and will show signs of its time at sea. Actual vintage maritime signal flag found in Germany. This flag's bright white X on a blue ground symbolizes the letter M ("Mike"). The design also means "My vessel is stopped" in Navy parlance.
