The Broom at the Masthead.

There still exists very old custom among seamen of displaying broom at the masthead of ships intended to be sold to indicate that they are to be swept away" The custom originat- ed with the famous Dutch admiral Tromp, who when he appeared off the English coast hoisted broom to show his intention of sweeping the Eng fish fleet from the sea. The Eng fish admiral, replying to this imper- tinent signal, immediately hoisted a horsewhip to the masthead of his ship to show the arrogant Dutchman that he meant to give him a drubbing. For this reason pennant is oftentimes dubbed "the horsewhip" by seafaring men, Sea lore, of course, is full of symbolism, and the broom is only one of many signs used that have meta phorical meaning Globe.
