ASIATIC STEAM NAVIGATION CO. LTD.

The white flag band varies in width: several Brown editions and Lloyd Reedereiflaggen show one-third of the flag, while other sources use a broader band, supported by W.A. Laxon’s company history. The National Maritime Museum flag, dated about 1951 and measuring 762 by 1066.8 mm, looks black in the image but is described as blue. Jordan and Ocean Ships give a yellow funnel; Stewart 1957 indicates a darker shade. Laxon attributes the star to White Star Line influence.
