It traces the visual language of signaling from the earliest naval banners or streamers used by the Byzantines in AD 900 through to Morse signaling still used at sea today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe three sections, Flag Signaling, Semaphore, and Light Signaling each trace the development of the respective methods in meeting the needs of commanders for secure and unambiguous communication with their fleets. Though inextricably linked to naval tactics and fleet maneuvers, the history of signaling at sea also reflects the exponential growth in global maritime trade in the nineteenth century when dozens of competing systems vied for the attention of ship owners and led to a huge proliferation of codes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Craddock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526784823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526784827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e US Naval Institute Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 0.50d","brand":"David Craddock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983039660287,"sku":"9781526784827","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_71b21846-9631-4033-bb63-c1f9a9944d0e.jpg?v=1683264339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-ship-where-bound-david-craddock-9781526784827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
