THE CSL GROUP INC.

The sequence is not entirely settled. FOTW dates C62 to 1958 and C63 from 1958, but Rosanoski finds C62 in Brown through 1958 and C63 already in Stewart 1953. He assumes succession rather than two separate companies. The blue was taken as mid-blue from Know Your Ships 1959; Al Fisher’s C63 rendering uses pale colours. A Sir James Dunn photograph confirms the C63 funnel.

The later flag appears on the company website and in a CSL Pacific photograph. Nüsse’s example is described as 2:1, while the FOTW rendering is longer; Know Your Ships shows an ordinary rectangle. A CSL Atlas photograph dated 19 January 2006 supports the funnel, leading Rosanoski to suggest a change about 2005–06, although the sources also document the design earlier.

The funnel bands follow the funnel’s shape. On Atlantic Erie they run level at the top and slope down the aft edge; on Birchglen they follow both the sloping top and aft edge. Cedarglen appears to have a white base, perhaps because the design stops part-way down. A CSL Laurentien photograph confirms the starboard arrangement. Know Your Ships shows a rectangular flag. CSL Tadoussac is photographed flying C1261 from the starboard mast and another flag from the port mast.

Mitchell describes this funnel as the new colours of 1980.
