Presentation of Christiaens & Bourguin

Veuve [Widow] Christiaens & Bourgain Frères [Brothers] was a shipping company based in Boulogne-sur-Mer, involved in the transport of salted food, fresh fish, salt and coal.
The widow Christiaens could be Marie-Louise Christiaens (1858-1942), widow of Benoît Christiaens (1865-1895); she was née Bourgain, therefore the Bourgain brothers could have been her own brothers.

House flag of Christiaens & Bourguin

Christiaens & Bourguin's house flag is shown in Olson's Fisherman's Nautical Almanack (1914) as white with the black letters "CB" in the middle.
The Yearbook of the Central Committee of France Shipowners (1922) shows a totally different house flag, blue with two rows of three white stars each.
