In these days of texting and twittering it is unlikely that young people will ever learn that in days past there was a maritime mode of communication, from ship to shore and ship to ship, using colorful flags. Herein are the author/artist's narrative primitive illustrations of early Cape Cod, vignettes of history, and each page is headed with a secret signal flag message waiting to be translated using the signal flag charts in the back of the book. Fun for the entire family.
