Killick Martin &amp; Company initially used a House Flag or Maritime Flag to identify the companies vessels with two blue stripes and a wider white centre stripe.From 1868 however the design was changed by adding a vertical blue bar to form an ‘H’. 
The flag became known as ‘Killick’s H’ or the ‘Hungry H’.
