Funnels vs. house flags
I wander why these distinctive funnel
patterns doesn�t show on the house flags.
Ant�nio Martins, 17 Oct 1999
Among the shipping lines covered in the 1934 flag article in National Geographic magazine [gsh34],
- some had funnel markings which very close resembled their house flags,
- some had funnel markings which had only a general similarity to their house flags and
- some had funnel markings which had nothing in common with their house flags.
