This time the curiosity is that the name is feminine (Cacilda). The flag is black and white: a
white border surrounds a thin black border which in turn surrounds a white
panel with a narrow black diagonal from lower hoist to upper fly. Two
letters are in this panel, A in upper hoist, H in lower fly. I don't know
about the A (the name initial of Mrs. Cacilda's husband? Sheer speculation
here), but H is likely to refer to Henriques.

The company was founded in 1895 by the German
immigrant Carl Hoepcke, homeported at Florianópolis (Santa Catarina) and
originally engaged in short-haul shipping between Santa Catarina Island and
the mainland. An offshoot or successor company is still in the auto importing and sales business.
