FARRELL LINES INC.

The Ships List gives the buff A334 funnel for 1925–46 and F66 for 1946–2000, but Merchant Ships dates the change to 1941 and shows both forms, without a black top on its later version. Jordan describes a yellow funnel bearing the flag panel, whereas other panel sources show F66 with a black top, confirmed in African Comet’s black-and-white photograph. City of New York’s photograph is inconclusive but tends towards A334, making Jordan’s panel description for that date questionable. Farrell retained American South African Line’s livery, listed under both names in Stewart.

This is the fleet commodore’s flag, noted by Loughran as unusual for a non-British company.

The livery appears to have ended with P&O Nedlloyd’s takeover. Ocean Ships 2004 lists the service as Farrell Mediterranean Express/USA, apparently in P&O Nedlloyd colours, although vessel names continued until the Möller takeover.
