Empresa Lineas Maritimas Argentinas S.A. Formed in 1961 by the merger
of Flota Mercante del Estado and Flota Argentina de Navegación de
Ultramar, ELMA was the Argentine National line which folded after a
series of losses between 1992-1997.

The light blue flag had a white saltire surmounted by a vertical dark blue foul anchor [see image] being shown by Josef Nüsse. Brown 1982 and 1995 show a plain black anchor without cable but as the flag appears to be a combination of those of the formation companies I favour the Nüsse
version.

Confirmed by 1962 brochure shown on Maritime Timetable Images site:
http://timetableimages.com/maritime/temp/elma/elmab02.jpg
at least as shown by flag image on funnel.

The database ‘Maritiem Digitaal’ (Dutch) [confirmes the color of the anchor]: Just type “elma” or “staatsrederij” (i.e. state-owned shipping company) in the search box and click “Zoeken”.
Also put up by the Amsterdam museum, item S.6483(2148) measuring 146 cm by 221
cm shows a dark blue anchor, thereby confirming Neale’s hunch.
