LORD HOWE ISLAND SHIPPING CO.

L417

Sitka’s mark represents Mounts Lidgbird and Gower, Lord Howe Island’s prominent peaks. The mountains are blue; the palm’s colour is unspecified, but apparent blue hatching on its leaves led Rosanoski to presume the whole design blue. The Log attributes this funnel to Lord Howe Island Shipping, while a similar mark in different colours on Maasmond is assigned to Roslyndale. Sitka appears to have been bought by Roslyndale in 1986, possibly renamed Sitka II in 2000 and reverted in 2002.
