The flag is said to derive from Cork Steamship, although Rosanoski doubts the description of that earlier flag as a pennant. Reed and Griffin confirm the design for W. & C.L. Ringrose without establishing which version. The buff funnel was used from 1894 to 1935, then replaced by Associated Humber Lines colours. The Ships List gives white letters on the band, which Rosanoski considers should be black; Talbot-Booth continued to show the old funnel until the 1944 volume noted the change.
Talbot-Booth shows H371 with a normal point.
