HENRY LAMONT & CO.

Reed attributes G273 to Glasgow, Greenock & Liverpool Steamers, while another title is Glasgow, Liverpool & Birkenhead Steamers. Rosanoski considers these apparent service names evidence that Gilchrist used Lamont’s livery. Fenton assigns what appears to be Lamont’s saltire-bearing flag to Gilchrist’s nineteenth-century livery, with the saltires later removed. Rosanoski suggests that dropping them may instead have given Gilchrist a separate flag. Although Fenton first dates the plain version to 1912, Rosanoski finds it illustrated by 1885.

L292 and L293 preserve the versions in Griffin 1895 and LJC 1909 respectively.
