"She’s Signalling, Sir!" 🚩📡Time for a Signal Quiz!
Clues will be drawn from 1805-era flags—can you decode the message?
Let’s see who among you knows your Nelsonian signals from your pendants! Eyes to the masthead, shipmates…#NavalHistory #SignalFlags #1805 #Project1805 #AgeOfSail #DockyardTalk

Answer Time! 🚩📖

1️⃣ Telegraph Signal Cipher – This indicates the signal is using Popham’s Marine Vocabulary. The telegraph flag always precedes coded messages.

2️⃣ 2809 – "The stranger is a Corsair."
Straight from the 1805 signal book—clearly not a friendly visitor!

#Project1805 – Flag Locker Progress 🚩⚓Moving forward with my 1805 flag locker project! Ideally aiming for a full set in NATO Size 10, but currently sourcing a smaller set to fly from the flagpole here at my own little stone frigate. #NavalHistory #SignalFlags #StoneFrigate #Project1805

Just locked in the name for my signal flag project:
"Reviving The Trafalgar Signal"

Now tweaking the flag sizes down to a more manageable Size 4… still not sure I’ll get them hoisted on Victory, but we’re getting closer!

First day feeling a bit more myself again — so of course, I built a mast in the garden! What else would a naval history nerd do?

Signal flags are flying, the sun's out, and the spirit is lifting.
