Ruder-Club Oceana (from 1895 until 1964): A quarterly divided flag into green and white with a sinister-bendy black anchor in the upper hoist.
Note: According to Mr. Buschmann, a member of the board of RC Süderelbe and a former member of "Oceana" this flag is erroneous. "Oceana" used the
one depicted in Rudersportalmanach 1977 [RA77].

The RC Oceana v. 1895 e.V. and the RC Salut v. 1892.e.V.
decided to merge on 17 February 1962. Salut existed until 1963
and Ocena until 1964. Both clubs formed since then the
RC Oceana which changed its flag as follows:
The new
RC Oceana from 1964 until 1994 had a quarterly divided flag with two white quarters(upper hoist and lower fly), a red one(upper fly) and a green one(lower hoist). In the upper hoist quarter was a black inscription RCO above 1895 .
According to Mr. Buschmann the flag of Oceana, depicted in Rudersportalmanach 1977 [RA77], was correct but was used only up to 1964.
There existed two other predeccors of the club: the Wassersportverein Ruhe (1914-1933) and the Elbe-Ruder-Club Freiheit (1909-1934). But their colours are not known.

Name: Harburger Ruder-Club von 1892 e.V.(1892-1964)
Established: 1892.
Description of flag: It is a white flag with a red centred cross. In
the centre of the flag is a black red-edged circle with the coat of arms
of the former city of Harburg. On the edge is an inscription of white capital letters: "HARBURGER RUDER (top) CLUB 1892(bottom)".
Description of coat of arms:
It is a white shield with a red open gate with 3 embattled towers masoned silver(=white). In the open door is a yellow inescutcheon with a black animal, I believe it's a bear facing the hoist.
The club can't be really established in 1892. According to successor#s website the club was built, when "Ruder-Club Vorwärts von 1895 e.V."
and "Harburger Männer-Ruder-Verein von 1909 e.V." (HMRV) merged. The date I couldn't find out. HMRV was for males only.
