This Boatswain Pipe whistle would make the perfect gift for any nautical collector. The boatswain whistle is approximately 3.5" in length and features a loop hole for a key chain.
Sailors used the boatswain's call when the sounds of the sea were so loud that their voice could not be heard. The shrill whistle was used to signal commands to the crew. The high pitch meant the sound would carry over the noises of both the ships activities and the foul weather.
