Gestures Helmsman Instructed Messages S End Signallers Signalling Signals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when French Navy signallers were trained in the art of communication through arm gestures. Dating back to around 1900, this image showcases the intricate process by which every French naval helmsman was instructed on how to send messages from one vessel to another using only their hands. The significance of this training cannot be understated, as effective communication was crucial for the success and safety of naval operations during this time period. The precision and skill required to convey messages accurately through gestures speaks to the level of expertise possessed by these signallers. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to an era where technology had not yet advanced to the levels we see today. Instead, sailors relied on human ingenuity and dexterity to ensure that vital information could be shared swiftly and efficiently between ships at sea. Through this image, we are reminded of the rich history and traditions of the French Navy, as well as the dedication and discipline exhibited by those who served as signallers. It serves as a testament to their commitment to excellence in all aspects of their duties aboard naval vessels.
