Made by a supplier of maritime instruments to Her Majesty’s Naval Service, this is the classic brass megaphone traditionally used on sailing vessels. The famed British yachtsman Sir Francis Chichester reportedly never sailed without a megaphone, nor should any self-respecting helmsman or coxswain who wants to stay on course. This gleaming brass loud hailer amplifies your voice with optimal clarity and range, ensuring helm orders (“hard right rudder!”) can be heard above the roar of the surf and the rustling of sails. Skillfully hand finished by nautical artisans, this historically accurate version is made from 2mm thick polished brass that resists corrosion from sea salt and moisture. When on land, the megaphone has practical applications for those serving as lifeguards, cheering on a beloved sports team, or directing an epic blockbuster. Imported from the U.K. 12 3/4" L x 7" diameter. (2 lbs.)
