Documentary images — company attribution uncertain

Ships & The Sea 1938 states that the I was no longer on the flag, yet Merchant Ships continued to illustrate it through 1949. The 1942 source also attributes the livery to Baltimore-Insular Line. Lloyd Reedereiflaggen gives a white part of the baton over the B’s central arm; Rosanoski disregards this as apparently derived from Brown. Brown 1926 and 1929 show equal funnel bands, but a black-and-white photograph of Emilia appears to confirm narrower red bands, as noted in 1938.

Whether both companies actually used this precise variant is unsettled.
