MALLORY.

Charles H. Mallory’s flag passed through several company-name attributions. The funnel was initially black, later adding the flag’s star, present by LJC 1885. McMillan records later private-signal variations among descendants: white–blue–red with a blue star in the hoist for Philip R. Mallory, and red–white–blue with a red central star for H.R. Mallory.

Flag-area proportions differ. Brown gives half the field to white and extends blue slightly beyond the fork; Talbot-Booth begins blue at the fork, gives red about the same width, and leaves the remainder white. Other versions, including M296, make white larger than either coloured area. Rosanoski tentatively connects the differences with Clifford’s restrictions on use of the original identity.

Talbot-Booth says Clyde-Mallory relinquished the old flag to C.D. Mallory in 1935. Rosanoski guesses that the interim 1932–35 flag was the design later seen as a funnel panel and used by Marine Transport. M298 follows Jordan’s black funnel with house flag, but its flag and period are assumed. Ships & The Sea 1938 records the change to M392, whose funnel mark continued alongside the restored old flag.

M117 and M297 retain the Griffin/Loughran and Lloyds variants.
