KAHN SCHEEPVAART B.V.

Fairload at Lyttelton on 22 May 1985 carried J22 on its funnel and a similar flag. The white flag band appeared to occupy half the area; the elephant had tusks, a small tail and a white line around the neck outlining the head. Nüsse’s table flag confirms the detail, but the original sighting only assumed that the elephant faced the hoist. Mitchell’s funnel has no stars.

A Jumbo Navigation N.V. booklet supplied J21; that company possibly owned Fairload. Some photographs showed Fairplay Schlep. Reederei Richard Borchard markings, explaining the stars connection. No drawing recorded the elephant’s direction or shape. Brown 1995 reverses the elephant, presumably reflecting a later development. Rosanoski considers the livery common to the group, apart from the Willemstad company’s J213.

J214 is based on Fairload’s port side in August 2013 and starboard side in June 2010.
