This is the nautical alphabet. Its development began in the 18th century by British, French and American seamen. It was used by merchant and warships until the widespread use of wireless radio. Flags, representing letters, were strung together to make words or code signals and hauled up the mast. This communication system also included pennants to represent numbers. Today nautical flags and pennants are used for colorful ceremonial displays by sea going vessels on special occasions. Make yours today! |
One of Our Best Selling Mini Nautical Sign
Here is a fitting gift for anyone who made it through 2021/2022, it's one of our mini signs with the flags: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Our signs are based on the nautical alphabet. Each letter in that alphabet also has a phonetic name, Alpha represents "A", Bravo Represents "B", etc. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot has a special meaning for anyone slightly bewildered by problems we have all faced this year.

We offer 5 different sizes: skinny-mini, mini, small, medium and large. Most impressive are the Large that people usually hang outside. Medium is the most popular. The Small and Mini are better choices for indoors. Skinny-Minis are always a favorite. Reach out and we will give you a complimentary mock-up of what your word will look like. Prices are based on the size and number of letters and spaces.

Last names are popular requests, but other people ask for boat names, house names, kids initials or meaningful words like love, family, gratitude and welcome. The fact that the signs don’t tell you exactly what is spelled is also a great conversation piece. Order Now ! |
Another craft getting attention on our property is my location sign – also done to bide time in between TV gigs. It represents places John and I have been, each pointing in the correct direction with actual mileage. We didn’t know it would be a hit but every day, people stop and take pictures. It even made the local newspaper. One customer recently ordered this gift for a 4 year anniversary present to his wife - highlighting a buck-list wishlist of places to go. Since these signs are so personal it's best to reach out to me, pamela@ipswichrivercraft.com so we can craft the design together.

For special artwork - the sign is $55 which can include nautical flags, hearts, sunglasses, fish, beach umbrella's etc.

Just a note to let you know that I received my order the other day. As much as I wanted to unwrap it as soon as it came, I restrained myself because it was so well packed up. I wanted my friend to do the honors. She is doing a she-shed and is using a nautical theme, and I wanted to get her a meaningful gift. I couldn't have chosen anything better. She went crazy for it and will build the whole project around it. I too was thrilled with the quality of the piece and want to thank you for your attention to every detail. My friend will enjoy her piece for many years to come.
Thanks again,

Thank you so much Pam Tomlin for the beautiful signal flag signs! I gave them as gifts to my family for Mother’s Day…each flag represents a cousin / grandchild in order of birthdate. Its such a great gift idea! You can do names, initials, towns, boat names or house names.

My amazing friend Pamela Hadden Tomlin has started selling custom nautical signs and I’m obsessed!!! Love that she found this passion during Covid. Check them out!

Thank you so very much! I just received a call from my friend in Florida, who has had 3 major surgeries in the past 6 weeks..she loves the sign and said she has not laughed this much in many weeks. Laughter is the best road to recovery...Her husband said it it’s beautiful and is permanently on display for all to see.

The sign you made & shipped to my sister in Utah was the most appreciated gift, in her words "unique, thoughtful, bespoke, beloved gifts of all time ". It warmed my heart that this gift had so much appreciation.
Karen Pothier Fix, Danvers. MA & Utah -
The “HARLAN” sign arrived today. Wow!! Less than a week!! Thank you… it is PERFECT!! The size won’t overwhelm an 8 year old’s room, but he can keep it forever.
My biggest worry is that I couldn’t tell how much room there was between the top and bottom of the squares and the frame… but that too is perfect!! Topped of by- of course- nautical flag ribbon!!
Do you know the book “Alpha Bravo Charlie: The Complete Book of Nautical Codes”? My grandson and I spent a lot of time reading it last summer… thus your plaque is the perfect gift!

I want to thank you very much for sending your sign in time for Christmas this year. It got here just in time! This was for my father’s Christmas Present and at 98 years old, it is hard to find things for him. He has been a sailor since a young teenager, and anything nautical, is a hit. He still sails his 34 ft sloop with family almost weekly. Your sign hangs above the mailbox as a daily reminder of his joy in sailing.
Thank so much,
