Only ships mentioned in the brochure (though not in connection with particular routes) are
Partridge, Woodcock, Puma, Magpie and Vulture. In addition, Tiger is shown on a photo inside. |

| According to "Burns and Laird" by Colin Campbell and Roy Fenton, Woodcock and Partridge were used on the Belfast routes,
Tiger on the Dublin route and Olive and Rose on the Glasgow-Londonderry route. From the book you get the impression that, additionally,
Puma was used on the Dublin route, Vulture on the Belfast routes, Maple between Glasgow and Londonderry and Pointer on the
Ardrossan-Belfast or Glasgow-Londonderry routes. Thistle and Brier may have been used on the Heysham-Londonderry route. Other
passenger-carrying ships in the Burns & Laird fleet at the time were Magpie, Moorfowl, Lily and Hound, though the latter,
which used to sail on the Glasgow-Belfast route, was sold in 1925. |

| This brochure is hard to date. It bears close resemblance to the 1925 brochure above as well as to a 1927 brochure (see
archives) in terms of graphics and information given. However, the information is conflicting on some points, but I find it more
likely that it was issued at the latest in 1926, but may well have been issued before 1925. In any case, vessels used were the same as in 1925. |
