BISHOPSGATE SHIPPING CO. LTD.

The funnel is black with a broad blue band carrying diagonal white batons, described as “Pbd”, with a red “B” replacing the central baton. No flag is recorded, though Rosanoski suggests Silver Line’s flag was probably used.

Company identity is supported; a directly evidenced historical domicile was not established in the returned material. British shareholders and a later purchaser are insufficient by themselves to establish the company's jurisdiction. Do not confuse the nineteenth-century Bishopsgate Steam Ship company.
