Oslo - red flag, stylized "A".
Jarig Bakker, 30 Janurary 2004
The house flag shown by Brown (1926) already
appeared in Lloyd's Book of House Flags and Funnels (No. 716, p. 71).
The full name of the company was then E.B. Aaby Rederi S/A, the company being
already mentioned in 1903. On 22 May 1917, the ore cargo ship "Nannsmith", built
in 1907 in Newport for E.B. Aaby, sunk off Quiberon, south Brittany.
Whether the ship hit a floating mine or was torpedoed is still an unresolved
question.
The full name of the company was Aaby Shipping Co AS. Josef
Nuesse's "Ships and Flags" website shows its house flag with a slightly
different rendition of the "A" letter.
