Visual distress signals can be sent by flashing a light in the SOS pattern; that's 3dots(quick flashes) then 3 dashes (longer flashes) then 3 dots again. One naval instrument for doing this was the Aldis Lamp.SOS signals can also be sent by semaphore, it being a system of using 2 flags in various positions such as 1 out to the right and 1 to the left (raised 45 degrees above the horizontal), different positions of the two flags together representing letters of the alphabet, or words.People have laid out pebbles from the beach to spell out large SOS letters.I expect the American Indians could send and understand the meanings of various smoke signals.Flares of various colours can be shot into the air to give information. An aircraft pilot coming in to land when it was too dangerous to do so would see a red flare fired into the sky.(possibly because the pilot hadn't seen another plane just taking off)From the Merchant Shipping (Distress signals and Preventions of collision )Regulations 1996.
