Klaus-Michael Schneider’s flag is blue with a central yellow Greek cross. The chart’s title was interpreted as Steam Navigation Co. (Gläfcke & Hennings), but Rosanoski could find no such company and proposes that limited space caused West Hartlepool’s name to be shortened. Its flag has a yellow cross patonce with split ends, details which the chart’s quality neither establishes nor rules out. The company’s Baltic trade, including Hamburg where Gläfcke & Hennings were based, supports his hypothesis without settling it.
