The flag is blue with a white lozenge touching the edges and a big seriffed
F in the center, also blue. The caption is composed of an abbreviation
A., followed by a word that starts with a C and looks like "Corimus" and
finally "& Co." The initials are, thus, ACC. Where did the F come from?!

It must be this one, A.C. de Freitas & Co. on this
page - "A. C. de Freitas & Co. evolved out of a small trading enterprise
and grew into a sizeable import/export business and one of Hamburg's most
important private shipping companies by the end of the 19th century. The
import/export business continued after the shipping business ceased when
the last ships were sold in 1911." This site mentions 1835 as founding
year. To complicate matters, it seems that ship ownership was divided among
several family members, see here.
