ship: Groveland, built 1901, torpedoed 1917.
Flag yellow bordered red, red "F". The ship was originally built for
the SS CO Fawcitt (GB); I guess it kept the houseflag when it came into Swedish
hands.
Jarig Bakker, 16 August 2005
Lloyds 1912 [1] show the flag being used by
Charles H. Ford of West Hartlepool which is where the Fawcitt S.S. Co.
was based. They also show for same entry as the flag being used by
J.P. Jönsson of Landscrona which seems to suggest a connection between
Ford and Jönsson.

Grängesberg-Oxelösund Trafik A/B began operating
steamship in 1899 as Rederi A/B Lulea-Ofoten which flew a white swallowtail with
a smallish canton of the Swedish colours and on the middle of the field were the
black letters "L-O". By the early 1970s the name was changed to
Gränges A/B and they ceased as shipowners in 1978.

Began in Göteborg in 1869 as Ångfartgs Aktiebolaget Göta Kanal changing name in the 1950s and lasting until
the mid 1980s. An older design with a white flag bearing a gold shield
charged with a blue wavy bend sinister, which presumably represents
the canal, sourced from a Collectors Corner
cap badge and Loughran 1979. [2]

ship M/T Margit Reuter, built 1945, upphuggen 2001; seven fly- diagonal stripes of blue and white.
Reut & Reuter, Onsala.
Ole Andersen, 2000-Sep-20
Hakon A Reuter. Rederi A/B Reuter was one of their subsidiaries. The actual
design of their flag is uncertain as apart from this version which is nearly
supported by the Collectors Corner cap badge which does not have any white at
upper hoist or lower fly, US Navy 1961 [8] shows white with 3 narrow blue diagonal
bands whilst Talbot Booth 1942 and 1944 show 4 white and 3 blue bands of equal
width but reverse the direction to per bend i.e. from upper hoist to lower
fly.

Reported later flag

Operated from Göteborg pre-World War 2 with a white pennant edged
blue and bearing the blue letters "H.B."
being shown by Talbot-Booth in 1937 and 1938 and confirmed by a
Collectors Corner website cap badge. However Talbot-Booth 1942 and
1944 show a yellow field replacing the white indicating a later change.

From Landskrona, Persson is shown by US Navy 1961
[8] with a yellow flag with a broad blue
horizontal band bearing a white "P". He was operating in the 1930s through until
about 1960 with the vessel "Allan". Talbot-Booth [tbb] in his 1942 and 1944
Merchant Ship" books gives him as operating Rederi A/B Allan with a
different funnel so presumably the same ship but under his own name
post-World War 2.
