Pennant

2:3 image by António Martins-Tuválkin, 24 Aug 2008

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.

About the company

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).
