House Flags of Brazilian Shipping Companies, H

Henriques, Cacilda de Souza
Hoepcke

Cacilda de Souza Henriques (Manaus)

image by Jorge Candeias

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.
