Signal Flag Papa - About to Sail

The bold graphics and bright colors that made this signal flag visible across vast stretches of ocean also give it great visual impact on the wall. 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. Its bold blue and white concentric squares symbolize the letter P ("Papa"). The design also means "All personnel return to ship; proceeding to sea," when the ship is in port and about to sail. Quantities are limited, and each flag is unique. This found, vintage object shows attractive signs of age and wear. Mounted on an acid-free archival mat and framed behind glass in a shadow box made from 100% recycled post-consumer plastic (LEED certified). 19" wide x 1 5/8" deep x 24" high. Frame made in USA. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.
