Then, mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F). 1 — Morse code can be sent by signal lamp and semaphore flag. 2 _ Anon-directional message can be seen by any ship in seeing distance. 3 _. Semaphore is more effective over longer distances than flashing light. Satellites let ships communicate on opposite sides of the world, But for centuries, sailors relied on visual communication. Those methods are still taught, just in case. For example, during radio silence or a radio failure, visual communication methods are vital. The main method of visual communication is flashing light. With flashing light, a light sends a Morse code message. In non-directional method, that message is sent in all directions. In the directional method, a signal lamp sends the message in one direction. Semaphore is an older form of visual communication. It is only effective over short distances and is rarely used. Still, semaphore has advantages. With semaphore flags, sailors can exchange basic information, even if they speak different languages.
