SERVICIUL MARITIM ROMÂN.

Lloyds 1904 appears to show an anchor intertwined with a red-and-brown eagle, wings raised. Above is a red crown supported by two unidentified yellow objects. Red S and M letters flank the shaft above the flukes, with R below.

Lloyds 1912 appears to show a crowned anchor with a black chain hanging down the dexter side, white lightning flashes and three yellow-and-red objects attached midway. The canton occupies a full quarter. The online plate places the emblem on the right, prompting Jan Mertens to question whether this is a mistake or an earlier version; he reads decorative ribbons and possibly a screw behind the anchor.

Lloyd Reedereiflaggen 1933 shows a crown and foul anchor. Its funnel is not shown in that source and is assumed to apply.

Brown 1934 has letters, crown and foul anchor all aslant. Rosanoski sees a possible connection with the 1937 timetable, although its anchor is upright and the letter positions remain puzzling.

Talbot-Booth’s version has a crown and foul anchor. A black-and-white photograph of Român also supports the funnel.

Brown 1951 also assigns this livery to Navigatiunea Maritima Romana S.M.R. A small circle at the anchor’s centre is unidentified: it might be a twisted cable or a post horn.

The postal flag is white and swallow-tailed. Its square canton contains the national flag, overlaid by the royal crown, with a golden postal horn hanging below the canton on blue strings.

Alex Danes identifies the logo from reproductions of old postcards as an anchor with rope, a three-bladed propeller bearing S, M and R, sketchy lightning flashes, and a crown above a folded ribbon, probably Romania’s Steel Crown. The blue flag has a red canton with golden SMR and a golden logo in the fly half. The accompanying description estimates the canton at one-third the flag height and half its length, and the crowned anchor as almost filling the outer third. It still questions the central circle as cable or post horn. Rosanoski notes that golden SMR letters also appear on the fly emblem and are inadequately shown in most renderings.
