BRITISH & CONTINENTAL STEAMSHIP CO. LTD.

The FOTW rendering centres the cross between hoist and fork, following Sampson; LJC 1930, Lloyd Reedereiflaggen 1933 and Brown 1951 also place it nearer the hoist. Most other Brown, Talbot-Booth and Stewart versions centre it as on a rectangle, nearer a deeper fork. St. George’s earlier flag was white with a red cross; Cork initially used a swallowtailed version with the cross midway between hoist and fork.
