The flag of Yates-Porterfield who did shipping in the mid to late 1800s is
shown on the ship in the attached photo. It was a red flag with 2 white circles
one with a Y and the other with a P. They operated out of NYC and did a lot of
shipping to Liberia. The owners were Joseph W. Yates and Capt Robert
Porterfield.

Zarega & Co. ran several lines in the late 1840s and early 1850s, both
trans-Atlantic and coastwise. Its ships are easily recognizable by their cryptic
names, like A.Z. and I.Z. The Red Z Line, whose flag was a blue-white-red
vertical tricolor with a red Z on the center, operated immigrant ships from
Glasgow to New York from 1848 until the late 1850s. Another line, called simply
the Z Line, operated immigrant ships from Antwerp to New York, 1847-1851. The
company's Regular Line ran between New York and New Orleans.
