Bodewes Binnenvaart

The striped flag is documented on Aviso II, delivered in May 2005. Mertens had not found a flag or pennant using the familiar stylised-ship logo.

The pennant adapts the rectangular flag, with the names sloping to fit the triangle. Although the auction photograph is dark, Mertens confirms from personal observation that the upper stripe and lower word are orange, not red. The offered specimen measured 0.30 by 0.95 metres.

Founded in 1896, the Millingen shipbuilder specialised in inland shipping and is identified with Damen Shipyards. Mertens explicitly distinguishes it from other Bodewes businesses.

Netherlands, Millingen.
