Flag semaphore is a system for conveying information at a distance through visual signals using hand-held flags. The position of the flags encodes the information; it is read when the flag is in a fixed position. Semaphores were adopted and widely used (with hand-held flags replacing the mechanical arms of shutter semaphores) in the maritime world in the 19th century. It is still used during underway replenishment at sea and is acceptable for emergency communication in daylight or at night when lighted wands instead of flags are used.
