MONEY, WIGRAM & SONS.

Wigram retained the predecessor’s flag after the 1843 split; Frederick Green’s successors placed the blue panel behind the cross in their version. The flag is associated with Sir Edward Paget under Green & Wigram in 1824. It was given to Federal Steam Navigation in 1896, presumably by Hughes. One version of the origin legend tells of an officer climbing to the masthead and attaching the tail of his blue coat to the centre of the cross.
