COAST LINES LTD.

C775 was adopted in 1917. LJC 1930 places the C wholly at the saltire’s centre. On the name change, the funnel reverted to that of F.H. Powell & Co.

C776 replaced it on 1 July 1937, restoring the three founders’ colours in a flag based on International Code C with the company’s initials added. Ridley Chesterton 1967 gives black letters.

Rosanoski questions Talbot-Booth’s continued use of C777 after Ships & the Sea had reported adoption of C776. He also questions Merchant Ships 1944’s statement that the single C had been replaced by black C.L., both as to colour and punctuation.

The cruising yacht Killarney used the C778 funnel, presumably with whichever flag was current.

The constituent liveries survived the 1971 P&O takeover until formation of P&O Ferries in 1975.
