In the era of tall ships, the bosun's whistle was used by the bosun to pass on commands to the ship's crew. Roman rowers are said to have been commanded by whistling as early as ancient times. In its current form, the boatswain's whistle was first used on English sailing ships in the 13th century. Although she only knows the two pitches “high” and “low”, certain signal sequences encompass a large number of different commands. The loud and shrill sound drowned out the weather, the sea and the ship's own noises. He also interrupted any conversation on board.
