ONASSIS GROUP.

This livery was used until the mid-1960s and is also recorded for Sociedad Armadora Aristomenis.

The diamond carries the Greek omega. On Calliroe Patronicola at Lyttelton on 26 January 1991, the funnel looked dark mustard or brown buff, though NJK advised orange. Its white circle had a mustard ring near the edge. The wavy funnel flag substituted mustard for yellow and had a mustard diamond with a slightly lighter edge; the actual flag had a red diamond edged gold, filling the cross. Rosanoski suggests weathering explains the difference. The upper Olympic rings ran blue–gold–black–green–red, and the lower red–green–black–gold–blue, the reverse of Brown 1982’s order. NJK confirmed that sequence and a yellow cross; Brown 1995 shows only four rings in each sector with inaccurate colours. Olympic Legend in October 2009 had a red diamond edged yellow, whereas Olympic Loyalty showed orange without edging. Mitchell omits the black funnel top. Know Your Ships shows a red funnel and an aft-pointing pennant with a yellow cross.

The FOTW account describes a dark blue triangular pennant edged yellow, a white cross edged yellow and a red diamond edged yellow bearing a yellow omega. Rosanoski cautions that the book’s actual drawing is black-and-white, with long 1:2 pennant proportions, no specified blue shade and the symbol shown as blue.

An unsourced postcard series shows an O27-style funnel with a different flag. No other source supports that flag.
