St. Gotthard Schiffahrts A.G. Operating from 1962 to 1988 the company was
owned by Baron H.H. Thyssen-Bornemisza who also bought what became Suisse-Outremer Reederei AG
and operated the company. According to the Josef Nüsse table flags St. Gotthard
had a flag of red with a blue triangle extending throughout from the hoist on
which was a grey dolphin swimming to the hoist. Unfortunately
http://www.swiss-ships.ch shows the flag
as reversed and shows it under Swiss-Outremer. Also unfortunately, whilst the
Nüsse image appears to show a sleeve which would confirm his version, the
stitching appears amateurish and does not extend to the top of the hoist and
seems to indicate that the hoist end of the flag has been turned back to make a
sleeve so which version is correct and to whom it belongs remains unclear but
Suisse-Outremer were the operators [see also earlier comments regarding the Suisse-Outremer
flag].
