Attributions vary between Birger Krogius, Finland-Amerika Linjen, Atlanta and Oceanfart. Most Brown editions leave unclear whether the flag diamond extends throughout; Brown 1978 gives light blue for both funnel band and flag and omits dots after the flag letters. Stewart and several Talbot-Booth editions place a small white o above A, making Å, but Styrbjörn E:son Lindberg corrected FOTW’s letters to A L. His father Jarl Erick B:son Lindberg had served as mate and captain until 1955, and his brother also as mate. A Brazilian source for 1950 shows dots after the funnel letters, and a black-and-white photograph of Bote IX confirms the funnel.
