O.L. Eichmann

image by Jorge Candeias, 8 May 2004

This one is simply a blue cloth with a white "E". The caption is still practically illegible. Could be something like "O. L. Eishmarc", though...
Jorge Candeias, 8 May 2004

Looks like O.L. Eichmann to me, and indeed there was such a company - it operated out of Hamburg.

Thomas Entz Tanker

image by Jorge Candeias, 8 Jan 2005

The flag is blue with a white lozenge touching the edges and a big red E in the center. Once more, the caption doesn't seem to have enything to do with the initial. It seems to read something like "M. Jetser, Hamburg". No E's that I can distinguish...

Wolters' See und Seefahrt (1968) has: Thomas Entz Tanker GmbH, Rendsburg, with diamond not touching the edges and serifless "E".

John T. Essberger

A blue 'E' on a white field.
Jorge Candeias, 7 Mar 1999

John T. Essberger. Formed in 1924 the company appears to have originally operated through subsidiaries such as Bremer Öltranport GmbH and Öl Transport GmbH (both operative to 1938) and principally Atlantic Tank Rhederei GmbH (until c.1960) and to have initially used the flag of the latter of white with the combined letters "ATR" [see image below, taken from Brown 1929] though Brown 1934 and Talbot-Booth 1936 show slightly different arrangement of the emblem with the "AR" letters being more rounded. The use of the "E" flag is shown by Talbot-Booth in 1942 although at that point he shows a black letter then in 1944 he notes that the letter could also be blue on occasions. There appears to have been confusion with Atlantic Tank Rhederei GmbH, seeming to originate from Lloyds Reedereiflaggen 1933 and continued by Talbot-Booth, and Atlantic Rhederei GmbH which later became Atlantic Rhederei J. & W. Joch K.G., with the flag of the latter which is white with a canton of the old German colours of black, white and red, and in lower fly a blue "A", being ascribed to Atlantic Tank Rhederei.
