Description

The Hampton Nautical boatswain's (boson)pipe 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 antique brass navy boatswain's pipe comes with a quality 39 inch antique 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
