CAMMELL LAIRD SHIPBUILDERS LTD,

The earlier flag is white with the red outline of a camel facing the fly and red “CL&Co” beneath, a punning device. Observer, World and FOTW omit a dot below the o. The flag formed the basis of the accommodation ship Cammell Laird’s funnel mark around 1968. The white circle initially crossed the black and red areas, then moved wholly onto red in 1969.

Mitchell also attributes this funnel to the accommodation ship used as a workers’ hostel, but differs from Loughran by showing the camel facing forward and the letters CLC.

The document records adoption of a new flag with the September 1972 company-name change and credits a separate FOTW illustration, C41; no additional verbal design description is supplied.
