NORTH LANCASHIRE STEAM NAVIGATION CO.

The livery is dated 1844–70. The flag is described as red with a white St George’s cross and a central green three-leaved shamrock, interpreted in the source as representing England–Ireland transport. Funnels were black with a white band; Haws specifies a thin band three-quarters of the funnel diameter below the top. The livery changed in 1870 when the railway companies could own vessels.

Rosanoski questions why Lloyds 1882 shows this livery when Haws appears to end the company in 1874, and why Haws does not mention the variant.
