The crisp blue-and-white swallowtail belongs to the letter A in the International Code of Signals — one of the most recognized flags in all of maritime tradition. The Alpha flag carries a single, non-negotiable message: I have a diver down; keep well clear at slow speed. Flown from vessels the world over wherever diving operations were underway.
Style it: The high-contrast blue and white make this one of the most graphically striking flags in the collection. Frame it behind glass for a clean, architectural look, or hang it freely so the swallowtail falls naturally and the shape does the work. Beautiful in a beach house, a boy's room, a nautical study, or layered into a broader flag wall. Pair with rope, brass, and weathered wood for a coastal vignette that feels genuinely collected rather than decorated.
Dimensions: 32.5"L x 25.25"W
