PANAMA PACIFIC LINE.

The earlier livery followed American Line: a black funnel with a white band and a white flag bearing the displayed eagle from the American Arms in blue. FOTW distinguishes the flag from United States Lines by its outlined eagle with blue details, rather than a solid blue bird. Loughran dates adoption of United States Lines colours to 1935; Bonsor records California wearing its funnel on charter in 1936, followed by the other two New York–California ships.
