The flag is red with a black disc. Lloyds 1904 also attributes the livery to Alaska Steamship, which conflicts with an account of first adoption in 1928. Rosanoski identifies the latter event with Alexander Marshall Peabody taking control and restoring the Black Ball name. The Canadian Black Ball Ferries continued this version after 1951. Black Ball Transport’s later flag adds a white border around the disc, thin enough to be missed at a distance; Rosanoski suggests this explains Brown 1982 showing the unbordered version.
