NORDDEUTSCHE KOHLEN-UND COKES-WERKE A.G.

Rosanoski corrects the FOTW scan-based depiction against the cited source: the lettering is NK&CW, including the ampersand. Brown adds stops after the letters, absent elsewhere; Mitchell omits the ampersand. The flag derives from Blumenfeld’s, and its apparently oval centre might be more circular, as Brown shows. Marine News specifies only the funnel, leaving continued use of the Blumenfeld flag implicit; Massary explicitly gives the same livery. A question about a Haniel connection arose from similar colours, but Rosanoski found no supporting relationship.

Nordcoke’s monochrome photograph confirms N672 sufficiently for Rosanoski to reject N673, though fine details remain too small to distinguish.
