Great link! I love searching like this and while I could not find an exact match for the pattern posted by the OP on Dave's list (unless I missed it), it appears to have been one of the "Weathered" ones. Gunn or Guthrie appeared to be the closest; perhaps there were variants?
Many Thanks Friend!
I had actually posted a question asking you the identity of the person who wore that blanket but then noticed the revelation upon clicking on the image and deleted my post.
I wish I knew!
I don't necessarily want to discuss the thinking behind it, but if I had to guess, I would say that it was Eleanor Widener.
Definitely in her charcter.
It might have not been registered to a clan. From my understanding WSL had blankets (also known as steamer rugs) made for their ships that often mimicked tartan patterns but not exact copies of a clans tartan. First class usually had the more fancy patterns. And they usually had the WSL logo embroidered into them. Possible that blanket was one of those from the ship. But I've read the one shown in the picture of Charlotte Collyer was a Stewart clan pattern.

I stand corrected. The article I read must have had it wrong. Seems each regiment had there own "Black Watch" pattern. I looked it up as don't really know much about this. My only experience with tartans was once on trip to Edinburgh I stopped in a shop that made cloth in tartan patterns. The old belt driven machinery and looms were fascinating to me. It was right outside of the castle there. I bought enough material for my sister to make a table cloth. She married into the clan Anderson. I looked at Dave's website he posted and it was an exact match. Anyway interesting stuff. Cheers.The Colliyer's are seated with a Weathered Black Watch tartan
