UNION COMMERCIAL INC.

The company website shows different sides of the funnel, the starboard design being a mirror image. U213’s broken chain spells “UC”. A correspondent, identified as RGT, describes its later replacement by an unevenly slanted “M” in the same iron-oxide red. Photographs of Mark at Wellington on 27 February 2003 and Loyal Union on 2 May 2013 confirm the port-side U213 design; Loyal Union on 5 May 2007 confirms the mirrored starboard version. A photograph of Ken instead displays the port-side view. Mitchell also assigns U213 to Arnica Shipping Co. Ltd., apparently owner of Fropadan[o], which Rosanoski could not locate in Lloyd’s.

Mitchell uses U214 in drawings of nine vessels, including some, but not all, of the operated or agency companies’ ships. He also assigns it to Twenty Five March Shipping Co. S.A., owner of Annunciation Bay from 1966 to 1969, which Rosanoski did not locate in Lloyd’s.
