KNÜPPEL.

Mobil gives a biscuit shade and no black funnel top. Mitchell’s July 1976 Goole sighting probably concerns Heinrich Knüppel, for which he supplies a drawing. His Peter Knüppel drawing instead has a black base, at odds with K297; Rosanoski wonders whether charter periods explain it.

Mitchell gives K297 for Hans-Hermann’s Peter Knüppel, possibly for that vessel alone.

K298 is assigned to Markus Knüppel at Lubeck and the vessel written Hildegarrd Knüppel. Rosanoski cautions that Markus may not be connected with the Hamburg owners.

K300 is documented on K-Storm’s starboard side in November 2008 and K-Stream’s port side in April 2006. K-Storm also has the flag painted as a panel on its superstructure.

K299 is retained from the Mitchell collection without a separate verbal description.
