Captain Frederick Marryat' who served as a midshipman with Admiral Lord Cochrane. He created a publication "A Code of Signals for the Merchant Service" published in 1817. The first International general system of Signalling. The British Board of Trade first issued the "International Code of Signals" in 1857. One of the beauty of the signal is that the Flag or later Morse could allow signalling between people who did not require to understand the others language and still get the meaning.

About two thirds of the containers are already in the hull. So you will lose one third of the containers. It would be fun to see a 400 metre container ship under sail.

@washingtonradio (90% of the worlds trade is bt sea. I seems an odd argument that its better to transport goods by air in support of sailing ships.

@washingtonradio Pretty much everything that comes from Japan, China and Korea is is a container, this includes I Phones, electronics, clothing , furniture. Vast quantities of food fresh frozen and tinned also comes in containers. Cars and trucks in Ro Ro vessels. Oil in Tankers. Grain, and ore in bulk carriers.I suggest you buy the Admiralty Charts for Sailing vessel, 12 charts showing the recommended sailing routes by month. You will see how impractical it is.
