Bosuns Calls
In the days of sail, orders aboard ship were given on the Bosuns' Call, whose high-pitched whistle could be heard above the strongest wind. The Bosun would communicate orders from the deck to his men handling the sails. It is seldom used to transmit orders today, but the tradition is kept alive by many of the world's navies, who use a Bosuns Call on ceremonial occasions.
