Comben Longstaff

History

Comben Longstaff & Co.Ltd. was one of the most prominent shipowners in the UK and European trades, owning a wide variety of coasters and larger ships mostly with names ending - BROOK.

The company was notable for building some of the last steamers for the coal trade, and followed these with an attractive series of motorships.            

There is little information available about this company on the Internet and we can only find a poor quality representation of the company flag.
