PATERAS.

The Caltex book of 1959 gives a white house flag with a blue diamond charged with a white P, for Pateras ships sailing under Greek and Liberian flags.

Jordan describes a row of blue diamonds on the white funnel band. Merchant Ships 1942 depicts two and a half diamonds, touching and extending throughout.

Mitchell assigns this funnel to Pateras Brothers of Chios and lists Constantis, shown in Lloyd’s 1966–67 under Pateras Brothers’ London agent.

Mitchell gives this funnel for P.D. Pateras, presumably Nikolas D. Pateras, with Pateras Brothers managing. The listed ships are Stravinsky in 1989–91 and Rembrandt in 1988–92.

This funnel was noted on Argonaftis of the agency company The Oceanfaring Co. in September 1966.

Mitchell records the Comar Shipping Agency funnel on the N.J. Pateras & Sons card.

Mitchell supplies two funnels for P.G. Pateras Shipping without explaining the difference.

Both are given for “Pateras Investment Corporation [sic]”. P533 is linked to Anny Pateras in 1987–88; Lloyd’s 1988–89 gives Lagonia as owner and Pateras Brothers as manager.

This funnel follows a portside photograph of DP Proteus dated 11 October 2013.
