Conti-Lines

The house flag of Conti7 is white with four black horizontal lines and a blue triangle charged with the white letters "CL".

The company website shows a photo of the flag. At first I thought the blue triangle issuant from the hoist did not extend fully to the fly but subsequently I accepted that this was just an aberration on account of the flag flap. To have the triangle extending throughout makes it agree with the funnel panel (photo) except for one detail. Whilst the funnel panel is the same as the image shown, the flag differs by having the hoist triangle side end at the inner edges of the top and bottom black bands and not, as shown, extending the whole of the hoist.

Kennedy Hunter

In 1806 Charles Bréquigny, a Frenchman, started as a freight broker in Antwerp, then a French port. In 1811 he became a shipbroker and left the business to his son-in-law, Bartholomew Kennedy.
Then in 1869 William Kennedy, Bartholomew's son I believe, went into partnership with John Hunter, an Englishman. Their firm represented important shipping companies such as Lamport & Holt and General Steam Navigation. On Kennedy's death in 1874, Hunter took over the firm and developed an additional activity, salvaging in the river Scheldt.
