Boatswain / Bosun Whistle with Box
The Hampton Nautical Boatswain's Pipe (pronounced "bosun's") is one of the oldest and most distinctive pieces of nautical equipment. The boatswain's pipe whistle or flute was used in Greece and Rome to keep the stroke of galley slaves. This beautifully detailed solid brass and copper Navy Boatswain's Pipe comes with a quality 39 inch solid brass chain lanyard. The pipe has a traditional anchor design inlaid in copper on both sides. The boatswain's pipe measures 5 inches (12.7 cm) long and the pipe and chain weigh 1.6 ounces (45 grams) and yes it really whistles. The boatswain's pipe comes with a beautiful solid hardwood felt lined storage and display case. A solid brass Navy anchor with rope design is inlaid into the lid of the case.
