Liverpool Herculaneum pitcher, ca. 1810 , decorated with Signals at the Portland Observatory of Portland, Maine, with twenty-four flags and "Explanation" below, the reverse with an American frigate, 8 7/8" h. The Portland Observatory, an 86-foot high tower, became operational in 1807. Financed by a group of investors, organized by Captain Lemuel Moody (1767-1846), the Observatory was used to alert ship owners and merchants that their vessels were approaching with the use of the signal flags, identifying type and location of ship.
