San Francesco was recorded in April 1967 with a blue funnel and a broad black top, described as “as for Holt”. Rosanoski assumes this comparison means a similar blue shade. No flag is noted.
Targeted company and ship searches produced no useful independent corroboration. Modern bulk companies and unrelated San Francesco results were rejected. Malta remains the original assertion, not an externally verified country. Local document coherently records Bulk Trading Co. Ltd., Valletta, Malta, and a 1967 SAN FRANCESCO funnel, citing a contemporary register/collection.
