Well, the ad called it a Boatsun's Whistle and if you Google on
Bosun's Whistle you get several hundred hits but unfortunately
no instructions. Look's like it should have come with instructions
according to the ad.

I think technically it is called a Boatswain's Pipe.

Actually it is a Bosun's pipe not whistle. Making it work isn't all that
hard, it's learning the various calls that is the kicker. You'd need a
recording of each or someone who knows them to teach you.


I'm think that this is what I am asking for. I know what I need. I just need
someone to help me find it.

Further note. One doesn't whistle on a naval ship. At least not within
hearing distance of any grizzled old bosun's. A bosun "pipes down"
various calls, meals, reveille, now hear this, etc.


I know! See previous comment.
