Pernambuco Powder Factory (Pernambuco)

image by Jorge Candeias

Yes, the name of this company is in English, and it isn't what we'd expect a navigation company would be called. My guess is that this flag is (was?) used by vessels belonging to the PPF, much the same way oil companies have their own vessels. As for the PPF itself, it might be foreign investment in Brazil, possibly American… Anyway, the flag is a triangular flag with 5 vertical stripes of dark blue and yellow.

Companhia de Pesca Norte do Brasil (Paraíba)

image by Jorge Candeias

The name translates to "Fishing Company of the North of Brazil". The flag is a dark blue rectangle with a big white disc centered, charged with a drawing of a fish and two sets of characters in black. Above the fish, in an arc, the company initials, C.P.N.B.; below the fish what looks like "Z. 2." Don't ask me what that is supposed to mean.
