REEDEREI H.-P. WEGENER.

A funnel sighting at Liverpool in 1969 shows a flag design, from which Rosanoski tentatively reconstructs an original flag: red with a broad white horizontal band bearing a blue W. Its use as a flown flag is presumed, not established.

The horizontal biband in Brown 1995, illustrated by Jarig Bakker, is presumed to have followed the early design. The sequence is not independently established.

The documented later flag is an unequal horizontal biband, predominantly white over blue, divided by a wavy line with four rises and three falls. A large uneven red W, outlined black, touches the blue. Nüsse’s table flag confirms the waves; actual flags on the company website show darker blue than its light-blue logo. The source records unusual proportions as “1:563”. Carina’s funnel photograph of 17 February 2007 shows the design on a square panel, visible by its shadow, with a black-outlined W. Ship photographs show lighter-blue funnel panels, but the significance of this difference from the flags is unclear.

W377, attributed to Wega and Spica, resembles W3 but has one fewer wave and slightly hooked W ends, which Rosanoski considers possibly significant.
