Product Description

This replica boatswains pipe whistle is brand new and comes in a beautifully crafted wooden box with a brass anchor inlay. The whistle is attached to a chain and measures about 5" in length. A Boatswain's pipe is actually a whistle that is made of a tube, called a gun, that directs air over a small sphere, called a buoy, with a hole cut on top(keep in mind that the pitch is not fully adjustable on these). The pitch of the boatswains whistle is controlled by placing one's hand over the hole while blowing. It is historically used to give commands by an officer on a ship. A perfect addition to any nautical decor, gift for the ship's captain or any maritime collection.

This is a very lovely piece. I bought it for my first mate! He had a little trouble working it at first, which, according to online instruction, is normal. Will require some manipulation and practice. Bon Voyage!
