Description
Part history lesson, part mystery and secret codes, with a dose of advanced phonetics, this fun book is filled with interesting and engaging information. Beginning with an explanation of signal flags, the phonetic flag used by sailors, morse code, and semaphore, readers learn the importance of silent communications across great distance. Each alphabetic letter has a two-sided flag, the flag name and meaning, the phonetic alphabet used by the military, and how to signal with morse code and semaphore. The pages also include a little tidbit about a particular type of ship, from clippers to submarines. The book is written so that children and adults of all ages will be able to learn some fascinating information to share with others! Colorfully illustrated with simple diagrams, this resource makes nautical codes easy to understand for non-military or sailing families. It would also be a great way to introduce the subject to the children of seasoned sailors.
Publisher's Description of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie: The Complete Book of Nautical Codes
This stunning visual reference is an introduction to maritime communication through nautical flags, along with morse code, the phonetic alphabet, and semaphore signaling.
Today's system of international maritime signal flags was developed in the 19th century, and is still used for communication between ships, or between ship and shore. Each flag, boldly colored for visual distinction at sea, stands for a letter as well as a phrase relevant to seafaring. The resulting code is both beautiful and functional, inviting readers to code and decode messages of their own!
Created for ages 6-8 years
