The flag shown for Navalis Shipping GmbH & Co. K.G. has me wondering
as to what the originating image located by Klaus-Peter B�hne comprised
as the nearest I have managed to find is a somewhat similar style panel
which serves as link button including on the company
website. However that site, on its history page which shows images
for certain years relating to tom W�rden and then Navalis, for 1972
shows a panel of diagonal blue and white quarters with overall a white
circle bearing a red "N" which is also shown [with a slightly larger letter]
by Joseph N�sse for his table flags [see image below]. In actual fact only
1 ship is listed as owned by Navalis in Lloyds and that is managed by tom
W�rden together with the rest of their fleet and all are in tom W�rden
colours as far as their funnels are concerned and presumably as far as
the house flag when flown. Joseph N�sse indicates that Navalis was originally
owned by Rahmann and tom W�rden and I have one other lead which suggests
this may have been the case originally and that may mean the N�sse flag
was actually flown as well. Navalis now is the group which includes tom
W�rden so the flag shown by Klaus-Michael may well be that of the group
but without confirmation of a sighting of a flag of some sort I am left
wondering. Incidentally the Navalis
website image shows a white portside bow whereas this flag shows it
as light blue.
