The funnel is based on the emblem on the company building. Mitchell shows a less detailed and slightly different version, presumed to represent the same emblem, and also a more detailed blue outline on a white panel. Rosanoski cautions that this panel may illustrate the emblem rather than a flag. Mitchell places NORDTANK SHIPPING beneath it in a single light-blue line, unlike the building lettering. The funnel appears to derive from Nordstar, but the tonnage and year in Mitchell differ from Lloyds’ identification.
