Albatros photographs show varying blue or pale shades. Her actual black funnel sits within a three-sided surround, open aft, which can appear to be one structure from forward. The source also notes such a surround on “Anadea”. Maxim Gorkiy flew the flag at Wellington on 17 February 1999. Only REISEN and an initial g were initially legible in the small lettering; the website later established REISEN GMBH BONN. Correspondence describes the turquoise funnel with ball and gull.
Amadea’s blue funnel likewise sits in a three-sided surround. Its shades vary with light but appear greener than Albatros’s. The flag was not flown in the cited views. Artania shows the same funnel in December 2013.
Alexander von Humboldt alternated six-month charters with Abercrombie & Kent, presumably explaining the absence of the emblem in June 2005. Application of the flag is assumed.
The emblem was subsequently added facing the wrong way, shown in September 2005. Another ship of the same name had the P389 funnel in September 2009.
The drawing follows Maxim Gorkiy’s starboard side in February 2007; the port view is assumed. On long-term charter, she had previously retained Sovcomflot colours.
