ADELPHI VERGOTTIS LTD.

V87

Brown 1943 assigns V87 to Aegeon, Ionian and Myrtoon steamship companies, though Jordan places those companies under Vergottis Ltd. Jordan separates the funnel top from the band by a space equal to the band’s width; Brown shows no top. Rokos Vergottis has a similar funnel.

V71 combines the funnel recorded for Bannervale and Bannercliff with Brown 1978’s Bond Shipping Co. flag. Bannervale belonged to Banner Shipping and Bannercliff to Bond Shipping; the NJK account extends the funnel to the agency companies. The yellow shade of both funnel and flag is uncertain, as is whether the Es touch the V at its base.

Jordan records Adelphi as a manager under Greece in 1939, including Eptanisos Steamship Co. Ltd. and Possidon Steamship & Trading Co. Ltd. of Athens. Rosanoski considers them probably subsidiaries on ship-name evidence. Later agency clients included Banner Shipping Co. Ltd. and Bond Shipping Co. Ltd. He also considers it probable that Adelphi became Adelphi Vergottis (Hellas) Ltd. S.A., rather than establishing that succession.
