NAUTICAL ANTIQUE BRASS NICKEL BOATSWAIN'S PIPE BOSUN WHISTLE KEY CHAIN
A
boatswain's call, pipe or bosun's whistle is a pipe or a non-diaphragm
type whistle used on naval ships by a boatswain. It is pronounced, and
sometimes spelled, "bosun's call".
The
pipe consists of a narrow tube (the gun) which directs air over a metal
sphere (the buoy) with a hole in the top. The player opens and closes
the hand over the hole to change the pitch. The rest of the pipe
consists of a "keel", a flat piece of metal beneath the gun that holds
the call together, and the "shackle", a key ring that connects a long
silver or brass chain that sits around the collar, when in ceremonial
uniform.
