HALL LINE LTD.

S666 is ascribed to Hall Line. Griffin’s very pale yellow in S184 may explain the white in S666; Griffin shows letters of equal size except for a smaller o with a dot beneath.

Lloyds 1904 notes the change from H89 to H88 while still naming R. Alexander & Co. as manager. Following the Ellerman takeover, Hall retained its flag but adopted the group funnel and flew the Ellerman pennant above it. Brown 1951 omits the flag’s letters; Talbot-Booth and Ships & The Sea 1936 and Brown 1958 show black letters. The 1942 and 1944 sources describe the H88 funnel as very deep pink-buff.
