Merchant shipping companies (and particularly liner companies such as Cunard Line and ferries such as Red Funnel) were quick to recognize the publicity value of distinctive funnels, both in terms of shape, number of funnels, and the colors they were painted. In an era when ship hulls were uniformly painted black (to conceal inevitable dirt when loading the ship with coal) and superstructures were white (to control the temperature in the passenger accommodation in hot summers) the funnel was one of the few parts of the ship that a company could use to clearly differentiate its ships from those of its competitors. Each company would have their own "house colors", which were often used in publicity material as well as for recognition, making funnel colors an early form of trademark. The article "Funnel (ship)" is part of the Wikipedia encyclopedia. HTTPS://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_(ship)This unique ship's funnel waste basket is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. It would make an interesting conversational addition to your nautical maritime decor.
