INLAND STEEL CO.

The chartered Adam E. Cornelius carried I138, with a black band about twice the depth of the red top, separated by silver or light grey.

The company’s own ships show differences. Edward l. Ryerson’s lower band is hidden, but its red top appears broader and its silver possibly lighter than on the chartered vessel. Joseph L. Block’s lower band appears narrower than the red top. Edward l. Ryerson also supplies the flag evidence.

I140 is a secondary flag whose apparently black bands may be very dark blue.
