I am basically one letter short of finishing,
because one clue, from my viewpoint, has two
possible solutions!
55ac. - "LIGHT FITTING DESIGNED TO HANG
FROM A CEILING; ALSO A NAUTICAL TERM FOR
A TAPERING FLAG".
It's my understanding that the light
fitting is "PENDANT", and that the flag
is "PENNANT". Are either of these
possibilities interchangeable?

It's pendant. In the nautical sense means the same a pennant.

Thanks, Rossim! I wasn't aware of this
and I would always have called the flag
a pennant myself.
