Questions About Ship Telegraph
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How a ship's telegraph works involves two components: one in the bridge and one in the engine room. The captain turns the dial to a desired command on the bridge side. This causes a bell to ring in the engine room and the dial to move to the corresponding position to share the captain's orders. On 1stDibs, shop a range of ship's telegraphs.
