The board’s ships were granted a Blue Ensign bearing crossed cable-laying implements beneath a royal crown. Rosanoski reads the implements as an arrow and mallet and treats the flag as an ensign rather than a house flag. The funnel is confirmed by a black-and-white Iris photograph. The 2003 account says withdrawal of the ensign in 1929 was probable, while the later account describes it as obsolete on winding-up.
