HARMSTORF.

The flag is light blue with white stripes at the top and bottom and a central white serifed H, observed outside the company’s Hamburg building in April 2007. It appears to have remained in use until the 2010 change. Funnel evidence includes a 1972 Hamburg sighting and photographs of Suzanne in 2009 and Florence in 2008 with a narrow black top; Florence also confirms the flag and its painted panel.

The funnel comes from an unidentified 2004 website photograph and could represent a charter.

A photograph of Florence on 6 May 2010 shows H744 replacing the earlier funnel, confirmed again in June 2011. It appears to coincide with the 2010 name change. The later website flag is white with an H apparently dark blue; the 2011 vessel photograph may also show it flying.

Mitchell’s Bernice Navigation funnel is associated with Paula Lee in 1982–84, when Harmstorf acted as agent.

The archive combines several legal entities, gives 1950 for A.F. Harmstorf and describes the 2000 event both as renaming and new formation. The claimed 1976 return under tonnage tax is not corroborated. Preserve original account pending resolution.
