Rather than respond to the the question 'were rawlplugs the new anchor?' I had mulled over signal flags - having pulled ours out in a quest to find something else.
We have had the same collection of signal flags for decades - they are as good as new. We have never used them.
Do people still carry them? Do people use them? (ours are so small anyone would need to be within shouting distance or have very good binoculars to see them). Does any know what the combinations mean?
I know the 'hazardous cargo, divers, quarantine, pilot on board, N over C' and a few others - and we have an idiots guide, for me - just in case, at the helm.
Or are they now - simply for use as a decorative addition?
