Pennant, horiziontally divided green-white-green and a green
horizontal panel near the hoist (most of this panel - but not all - consisting
of the sleeve); over all, also near the hoist, the company emblem. Said emblem
is the waving house flag placed on a yellow steering wheel with eight spokes bearing the company initials
'C.C.N.' on the upper rim and company seat 'LISBOA' (Lissabon) on the lower one.
Of course this may have been a mere publicity pennant.

The Colonial of Navigation Company - CCN - was created in 1922 by Sociedade
Agr?cola de Ganda, Companhia do Amboim de Angola and Ed. Guedes Lda to operate
maritime links between the mother country and its colonies, especially the
African.
In February 1974, the CCN joined the Companhia Insulana de Navegação to form
Companhia Portuguesa de Transport Maritime (CPTM).
