Naviera Vascongada S.A., Bilbao – white flag, intertwined red "N" and blue "V".

The correct name was "Compañia Naviera Vascongada S.A.," with Brown showing the incorrect "Vascongala" under its image but the correct "Vascongada" in the index. Operating from at least 1899, it was originally under the control or ownership of Felix De Abasolo. The original flag was white with his initials of "F.A." in red, being shown in sources up until post WWII. The company appears to have ceased operations in the early 1990s.
