    Re: Grand Princess and Plague flag

    From a slightly different perspective, I noticed that the Grand Princess (since renamed by SF area residents the Corona Princess) was flying the Bravo signal flag.  One of the messages associated with flying the flag is "I am carrying dangerous goods"   The Bravo flag is usually seen on fuel barges.   But I could understand it being flown by a ship with a dangerous disease aboard.

    Come to think of it the yellow "Q" flag means "vessel is healthy" - certainly NOT the case with the Corona Princess....

    I caught a few shots of the Grand Princess as she sailed into SF Bay last week with her COVID-19 passengers. I didn't think to check now, but it appears she was flying a yellow quarantine flag (or at least thats what it sorta looks like). There are a bunch of nice write-ups about quarantine flags on the web, so won't reprise them here. Would love to hear the group wisdom about quarantine flage, their history and usage!

    What is NavList?

    NavList is a community devoted to the preservation and practice of celestial navigation and other methods of traditional position-finding. We're a group of navigators, navigation enthusiasts and hobbyists, mathematicians and physicists, and historians interested in all aspects of navigation but primarily those techniques which are non-electronic.

    To post a message, if you are already signed up as a NavList member, start a new discussion or reply to any posted message and use your posting code (this is a simple low-security password assigned when you join). You may also join by posting. Your first on-topic messsage automatically makes you a member, and a posting code will be assigned and emailed to you for future posts.

    Uniquely, the NavList message boards also permit full interaction entirely by email. You can optionally receive individual posts or daily digests by email, and any member can post messages by email (bypassing the web site) by sending to our posting address which is "NavList@NavList.net". This functionality is similar to a traditional Internet mailing list: post by email, read by email, reply by email. Most members will prefer the web interface here for posting and replying to messages.

    NavList is more than an online community... more about that another day.
