GORTHON LINES A/B.
image by Jarig Bakker, None
A black-and-white photograph of Herma Gorthon confirms the funnel. Brown 1958 also assigns the livery to the managed companies, and the Collectors Corner flag is taken from a cap badge.
Merchant Ships 1942 and 1944 omit the second funnel from the illustrations, but photographs show both in use; Brown 1943 illustrates both. The Merchant Ships index references Activ’s funnel without showing it, and links Gefion to G51.
The flag bears a cipher compared in one source passage with King Gustav’s and in another with King Olav’s; the names are not reconciled. Jarig Bakker’s FOTW image adds a white horizontal line joining the emblem’s centre. Rosanoski found no source supporting that line.
