About us
Crafted for Life on the Water
When my daughter was born, we wanted to announce to the world her arrival in a maritime tribe way - by hanging flags spelling J U N I on the front porch.
We went to the local ship chandlery but there were none to be had. We went online and the options we slim - very cheap and you had to buy all the letters, or very expensive and not attainable in our modest budget.
Thus, My Signal Flags was born.
We love signal flags
The most meaningful messages are never spoken.
A string of signal flags in the wind can tell a story of family heritage, adventure, service, celebration (like a new member of our human family!), or simply a lifelong connection to the ocean.
Every flag has a meaning. Every combination tells a story. And every time they're hoisted, they become part of a maritime tradition that spans centuries.
And besides, it's never too early to indoctrinate our youth into maritime culture.
Keep the language of the sea alive
Long before modern technology, signal flags carried messages across the water.
At My Signal Flags, we're proud to help preserve that heritage. As part of the Maritime Tribes family, we believe these timeless symbols deserve to be celebrated - not just as historic artifacts, but as living traditions that bring together boaters, veterans, waterfront families, yacht clubs, and everyone who feels a deep connection to the sea.
Feel free to drop us a line to share your family's maritime story - trip@maritimetribes.com
