Construction and reproduction
The official identification plate supports recognition of the design, but this record does not treat measurements taken from that illustration as a manufacturing specification. A common manufactured size would require its own documented source. Screen colours are display approximations unless tied to an identified standard; an editorial reconstruction should be labelled accordingly.
Historical context
Publication 102 identifies its Code as adopted by the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization in 1965. Its preface dates the effectiveness of the 1969 United States edition to 1 April 1969; the consulted revision is dated 2003. These are Code and edition milestones, not a verified first-adoption date for Seven’s particular design. The National Park Service describes the international signal code as still used at sea.
