You might be interested to know about a connection between Blue Funnel and Tintin.
The story "The Crab with the Golden Claws" features a ship called the Karaboudjan.
This was based upon the Glengarry which was at the time part of the extended Blue Funnel line: a photo of it was found amongst Herge's papers.
A comparison of the photo with the picture in the story can be found in "Tintin at Sea".
