  • 1.  Requesting official (USN, USCG, Marine) semaphore chart (in color)

    Posted 11-07-2022 09:07
    I am helping prepare a display involving a quilt made of semaphore flags blocks. It is a real eye-popper, not a traditional quilt subject. I am hopeful a military librarian can supply an official color chart, at no cost, of letters each semaphore represents.  (Viewers will likely seek out letters of their names.) A color chart to accompany this interesting quilt cannot help but encourage engagement on the viewers' behalf and make for a memorable quilt show experience. It could certainly be a peoples' choice contender as there will likely be voting of best of show, most original, etc. I'd like the display to be informative and also honor our maritime services. Thank you.

    Wikipedia has a list of semaphoer flags.

    There are also nautical flags (which are different).
