ADRIATIC REEFER CORPORATION INC.

Mitchell records the funnel both under Adriatic and under Suisse-Outremer, associating the latter with Orange Star. His Adriatic card describes a “half orange open”, with an apparently white centre and a red mark; the Suisse-Outremer card shows plain white. Rosanoski presumes the ship later adopted Atlanship colours, as shown in later photographs.

A940 is based on photographs of Orange Star and Orange Blossom. It shows a yellow circle with a mainly red design divided into segments by the yellow. No “tail” is visible, although one lower red portion in one Orange Star photograph seems to extend further down; if so, it points forward on the starboard side as a mirror image.

Mitchell’s line drawing dates A942 to Rotterdam in November 1986, during Orange Star’s voyage for conversion. Rosanoski interprets it as the former Blue Star markings altered before adoption of the proper new colours. It appears on a separate card from Mitchell’s other version.
