The third largest shipping company in Austria-Hungary was Austro-Americana
also known as Unione Austriaca di navigatione Austro Americana e Fratelli
Cosulich Società anonima. The Kosulić brothers were from Mali Lošinj (Lussinpicolo),
today in Croatia, while the company had seat in Trieste. On their flags see
our Italian pages. Presumably the red stripes
atop and in the bottom of
the saltire flag were inspired by the Austrian colours. The green and white
(with red of the stripes) giving the Italian tricolour. However, I am not
sure that this flag was used in the pre-1918 period, when the "Bremen-like"
flag might have been used (inspired by Croatian cheques?). In any case the
current company, was based in Zurich uses the "Bremen-like" flag
