AMERICAN PACIFIC STEAMSHIP CO.

Stewart 1953 initially names North American Shipping & Trading, corrected in the notes and the 1957 edition except for its index. Rosanoski found no apparent connection with American Shipping & Trading, associated with Stavros Niarchos. FOTW labels the illustrated flag American Pacific Line.

A1117 is expressly conjectural. Rosanoski doubted Stewart’s inverted stars: the only photograph found, of Ampac Washington, appears under magnification to show an upright star. The black-and-white image confirms a narrow black top but cannot settle the colours. The base looks uniform, though a band remains possible; the illustration assumes Stewart’s arrangement and continued navy grey.
