Oslo - red flag, stylized "A".
Jarig Bakker, 30 Janurary 2004

The house flag shown by Brown (1926) already appeared in Lloyd's Book of House Flags and Funnels (No. 716, p. 71).
The full name of the company was then E.B. Aaby Rederi S/A, the company being already mentioned in 1903. On 22 May 1917, the ore cargo ship "Nannsmith", built in 1907 in Newport for E.B. Aaby, sunk off Quiberon, south Brittany. Whether the ship hit a floating mine or was torpedoed is still an unresolved question.
The full name of the company was Aaby Shipping Co AS. Josef Nuesse's "Ships and Flags" website shows its house flag with a slightly different rendition of the "A" letter.
