A Boatswain's whistle or also known as a 'bosun' or pipe whistle, is historically a naval tool. This is because it carries further than a voice over the noise of the sea. Traditionally it was used to give orders, bugle calls and ceremonies. 

To use it simply blow into the end. The air is directed down the pipe and over the metal sphere. You can open and close your hand over the hole to change the pitch. The whistle comes with a key-ring that you can attach a lanyard to. 

Mil-Tec has made a faithful reproduction of the Boatswain whistle. These would be ideal for any young sea scout, emergency kits or even to make calls to others in the bush.
