Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Admiral Fitzroy's (English) storm signal [1864] consists of a hollow cylinder and cone, either of which, or both simultaneously, may be suspended from a mast or staff so as to be visible to ships in port or in a roadstead. Their positions and grouping denote the probable direction of the wind in an approaching storm. Thus: cone point upward to the right of the staff = northerly gale; cone point downward to the left of the staff = southerly gale; cylinder above = expect dangerous winds from both quarters successively; upright cone above cylinder = Dangerous wind expected from the north; reversed cone below cylinder = dangerous wind expected from the south; and so on. 2, record 3, English, - gale%20cone

Signals are hoisted on masts in ports to indicate the approach of a gale and the direction from which it will blow. 3, record 3, English, - gale%20cone
