I'd very much like to hear about the boatswain whistle and commands!

I always wondered what Riker was talking about in that scene from Generations when Mr. Worf got promoted :-) Thank you for the great upload and information! My grandfather, rest his soul, was a retired 30 year navy veteran as a Chief Machinists Mate. I try to pick up a little sailing knowledge in his memory. He had a Captains house built just across from Kings Park, Newport around 1895 and always rang a big brass bell at the back door to call us grand-kids in for lunch, a bell he either stole or was given to him from his last ship, my mom said it was for his retirement. You could hear that thing a mile away. Always made me jump out of my skin if I was hiding in the backyard and wasn't expecting it lol. I wish I could figure out where that bell actually came from. I polished it up from its dismal deep copper color and stored it away for maybe my grand-kids when I have a house and my daughter finds the time and a decent guy.
