Brass Ships Speaking Voice Tube Pipe & Whistle
Vintage Brass Ships Speaking Tube / Voice Pipe complete with working Whistle.
Voice pipes, the maritime term, served to transmit reports from lookout positions aloft to the deck and from the bridge to the steering position and engine room.
Brass and Copper voice pipes were being fitted to British two and three-deck warships as early as 1803. A notable use was on board HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalger in 1805. Victory's Ships Wheel was shot away early in the battle. A voice tube was then used to carry steering orders from the quarterdeck down three decks, to where a gang of sailors operated the ship's tiller directly using ropes and pulleys. We can arrange delivery to many countries worldwide, please get in touch for a quote.
We are happy to accept cash, cleared cheque, bank transfer or Paypal as forms of payment.
