Quebec Signal Flag (Q) – International Nautical Signal Flag
The Quebec signal flag, also known as the Q nautical flag, is a striking solid yellow flag that represents the letter Q in the International Code of Signals.
Traditionally flown by vessels arriving in a foreign port, the Quebec flag communicates an important maritime message:
“My vessel is healthy and I request free pratique.”
Often called the Yellow Jack, the Quebec flag has a fascinating history in maritime tradition. Today, it is flown by vessels to indicate that they have arrived from abroad and request permission to enter port and begin normal operations.
