UNITED BALTIC CORPORATION LTD.

The funnel came from Andrew Weir and the flag from A/S Det Östasiatiske Kompagni. Talbot-Booth describes the funnel as cream. Loughran dates U105’s adoption for motor ships to the 1950s, but Merchant Ships 1959 and 1963 instead give U104 for motor ships and U105 for steamships. Stewart 1953 and 1957 offer U105 without a black top as an alternative, while Merchant Ships 1949 gives only the plain funnel. Talbot-Booth and Harnack omit dots after the U105 flag letters. U104’s funnel circle contains red “U.B.C.”; Harnack notes the addition of flag markings on new motor ships. The circle has no outline in Brown 1951, a red outline in Brown 1982 and 1995, and normally black but sometimes gold according to Loughran; Merchant Ships 1959 uses gold. Coastal Ships & Ferries 1999 describes cream, a black top and a black anchor within a black ring, also in the Finnanglia account. Rosanoski treats this unsupported anchor description as erroneous.
