Hello all,
I'm trying to identify two typefaces from an admittedly poor sample. This is a signboard from a British ocean liner circa 1910-1920. The first line is a rather distinctive decorative font.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Ralph

This is hand lettered as most signs from that era would be. Ideas for emulating the sans lettering: Monotype Grotesque, Granby, Ministry, P22 Underground
Stephen,
Thanks for the suggestions. I rather suspected it was hand drawn but was hoping I could find a fairly close typeface. You've at least given me something to start with.
Regards,
Ralph
