WHITE STAR LINE (6).

A Tashmoo cream-soup plate supports the Lloyd’s flag design in teal blue, but perhaps without a swallowtail and with a squatter star.

Remy Champt’s Tashmoo art print shows yellow funnels with black tops, a blue bow flag, a white foremast flag with red lettering, and a house flag with a different letter arrangement and possible taper. Rosanoski considers the lettering and funnel differences possible artistic licence, contrasting a postcard’s white funnel with black top and an unclear, apparently light-blue bow flag.

Detroit’s White Star Line was incorporated on 14 April 1896 and spent three years in a pool with Star-Cole Line. B.W. Parker is recorded as operator. Bankruptcy in 1925 was followed by White Star Navigation; the old company was dissolved by court order on 27 December 1940.
