Flag semaphore was popular primarily in the 19th century and into the early 20th century, particularly for naval communication and signaling. Its use peaked during the age of sail and continued into the era of steamships, before being largely supplanted by radio and other forms of communication technology. While its practical use declined significantly after World War I, flag semaphore is still taught and used in certain contexts today, such as in maritime training and some recreational activities.
