The Boatswain Pipe, also known as a Bosun's Call, has been an essential tool for naval communication for centuries. Traditionally used to issue commands aboard ships, its distinctive tones could be heard over the sounds of the sea. Today, while modern technology has replaced its functional use, the Boatswain Pipe remains a symbol of naval heritage and is used ceremonially in navies worldwide.
Each pipe is meticulously handcrafted in the UK from solid brass, by the same workshop renowned for producing the Titanic Thunderer and Metropolitan Police whistles. The pipe is available in four elegant finishes: polished brass, nickel-plated, silver-plated, and gold-plated, each offering a unique aesthetic appeal.
Included with each pipe is a detailed instruction chart, guiding users through the various traditional calls and their meanings. This makes it not only a beautiful object but also an educational piece for those interested in maritime traditions.
For those wishing to personalise their pipe, engraving options are available at an additional cost. This makes it a thoughtful gift for occasions such as retirements, birthdays, or commemorations, allowing the recipient to own a bespoke piece of naval history.
