1930 Larousse Commercial [hok30]:
«Cia. Nacional de Navegaçao», (no tilde on the "a"!)
Lisbon: quarterly blue and white.

It’s the same houseflag as the British
Channel Islands Shipping Co.

Founded in 1881 as 'Empreza Nacional de Navegacao'
by "Bensaude & Cia, Lima, Mayer & Cia and Ernst George to operate services to
Africa" (and India, 1951-1972). Name change to C.N.N. in 1918; merger with
Sociedade Geral de Comercio in 1972; wound up in 1985.
Simplon Postcards page, showing a number of ships:
The simple house flag - blue and white, the former royal colours - has been given
a logo in the upper hoist in a table flag version. A white initial 'C', almost closed, surrounds two white stylized initials 'n'
suggesting waves (I suppose we can discount the blue sleeve).
Would this have been the house flag 1972-1985 after the merger with Sociedade Geral de Comercio?
Possibly, as shown on this page
(halfway down; other interesting logos and flagoids).
