Dear Baggallay,
With reference to your letter of the 13th August in
regard to the new Persian regulations governing the
flying of their national flags by foreign vessels, I had
previously heard from Grimshaw of the enquiries which you
wished us to make in regard to (a) the extent to which
British tenders, launches, etc. operate in foreign ports
and fly the Red Ensign, and (t>) the extent to which foreign
tenders, etc. operate in United Kingdom ports.
As regards (a), we have been in touch with the
Marine Superintendents of the following London firms
Anglo Saxon Oil Co.,
Furness Withy & Co.,
Ellerman Bucknall Line
British India Line
P. & 0. Line
Burma Oil Co.
Union Castle Line
Orient Line
Blue Star Line
Shaw Savill & Co.
British Tankers Ltd.
Royal Mail Co.
New Zealand Shipping Co.
The only Companies which own small harbour craft abroad
are the British Tanker Co., who have certain harbour tugs
at Abadan (Iran) that are understood to fly the British
flag and not to have been interfered with by the Iranian
Authorities, and the British India, which own the ’’Garmsir",
about which the present trouble has ariseh.
Until recently the P. & 0. Company had a tender
stationed at Yokohama which flew the British ^/lag, but this
tender has now been sold. Some time ago, the Blue Star Line
had
