Or one of the other two owners that I cannot find Funnel Colours for, perhaps??
R H Penney & Sons were based at 82 Queens Road Brighton and later moved to Albion Street, Southwick, Sussex.
As far as I can see they only had one vessel 1920's to 1940's, the ALGOL built 1924, 1566 Tons.
No reason why they would not have chartered Ships.
Another Black Funnel with a white star was E, F & W Roberts of Liverpool but I cannot find them listed in Lloyds over the same period.
It all makes it interesting for those of us that are trying to sort things out! BUT VERY FRUSTRATING on occasions when vital bits of the jigsaw cannot be traced.
Keep up the good work Tony!!
