AUCKLAND HARBOUR BOARD.

The armorial flag has proportions of 2:1, with vertical white and black halves beneath a red chief occupying 4/13 of its depth. The chief bears a yellow representation of Rangitoto Island and a white lighthouse at the hoist end. Three narrow light-blue wavy lines on the white half represent waves; four white stars form a diamond on the black half, as on the New Zealand Ensign. The description is labelled A663 in one passage and A882 in the FOTW comment.

A blue ensign has the National Flag in a canton edged white from the field, and a shield of the arms in the fly.

Sea Breezes describes the A882 funnel as used for most of the Board’s existence, with vessels subsequently bearing the shield from the flag design; it does not mention a change of funnel top. The Log in November 1986 reports that the A663 livery had changed in “recent years”.
