Description: | This is the emblem of the shipping company Hunting plc. The company was started in the 1870s by Charles Hunting, originally a veterinary surgeon. It survived two World Wars and various ups and downs in the shipping business. The plaque shown here was made in recent years. The red and white flag with the star in the middle is the company's houseflag. The hunting horn, symbolising the company's name, was adopted in the 1940s.
