Nüsse’s old and new websites supply table-flag specimens.

Schneider’s table flag has a white central diamond and light-blue NSB with a larger S. He saw it in a Hamburg St. Pauli pub on 28 May 2004.

Buxsailor’s portside photograph of 27 July 2008 appears to show black letters, but blue is possible given the distance and poor angle.

Buxsailor’s funnel and flag on 2 June 2010 have equal-height letters. The July 2008 views instead show a deep-blue top with a white diamond and apparently black, also equal-height letters. Buxpower’s October 2009 starboard photograph shows the flag at the same angle without a pole.

The chartered Buxfavourite’s starboard photograph of 7 March 2012 shows blue so dark it appears almost black, a slightly longer S and a short funnel without a white base. Rosanoski suggests the funnel’s height may explain that absence. Buxstar’s port view of 29 July 2013 instead has a short funnel above white superstructure, equal-height letters and an S formed mainly from straight lines with short curves.

This funnel is recorded on Conti Equator to port on 6 May 2010 and to starboard on 9 December 2012.
