L214

The shared livery was retained from Lambert, Barnett and used by companies under Lambert’s control; Merchant Ships also records earlier use by Commercial S.S. The flag is white with a red triangle pointing upwards. Funnels are black with the triangle on a white band. FOTW repeats the flag under Dornoch and Temple, but the illustrations differ in the triangle’s size and geometry. James Dignan’s Sampson-based version has a smaller triangle; Peter Hans van den Muijzenberg drew attention to the difference from Brown 1943.

L214 preserves Griffin’s 1895 version.
