Newcastle - Bergen Service

House flag: Red Burgee with Blue Borders, top and bottom, two White Bands and BDS over Star in White on Red.
Jarig Bakker, 13 October 2003

It was founded in Bergen in 1851. According to my sources, the letters were arranged in a semi-circular pattern above the star.
Jan Oskar Engene, 16 October 2003

In "All about Ships and Shipping, 1959" the letters are in a row, like James drew them, so possibly two variations existed. Description: Red Burgee with Blue Border, top and bottom, two White Bands and BDS over Star in White on Red. Funnel: Black, with three White Bands.
