House flag, Bolton Steam Shipping Co. Ltd
The house flag of the Bolton Steam Shipping Co. Ltd, London. On a red, rectangular field there is a white diamond with the red initials 'F. B.' in the centre. The flag is made of a wool and synthetic fibre bunting. It has a cotton hoist and is machine sewn. A rope and toggle is attached. Bolton Steam Shipping Co. Ltd was founded by Frederick Bolton in 1874 as F. Bolton & Company. The company ran a small fleet of tramp steamers to the Middle and Far East. Bolton being the son of a painter, all the ships were called after artists. After buying out a partner, Henry Kenneth, the company was re-named Bolton Steam Shipping Co. Ltd in 1897. The company went into voluntary liquidation in 1917 prior to Sir Frederick Bolton's retirement (he was knighted in 1908).
