A note about sources

Many of the images in this series are drawn from articles in The Log by the late Bob Tompkins, as was the series I earlier sent on Australian companies. Bob and I were thinking of associating in publishing the records of Athol Kirk of Wanganui who had researched NZ companies for 40 years but died before he could publish. His records may have included other companies of which we are not aware but unfortunately, as is common in such situations, the research tends to subsequently be hard to locate. The article in Sea Breezes by Louis Loughran, keeper of the World Ship Society livery records and to me the No. 1 in this field, has helped and there are a few of my own additions.
