I made my drawings not from Meyers Neues Lexikon directly, but from my old notes taken about 10 years ago. I may have been wrong with proportions, ratio, small details (for example, cord of anchor) etc.
Victor Lomantsov, 9 February 2001
Victor Lomantsov's image is from Meyers Neues Lexikon which I consider somewhat more reliable than my fading memory. (...) If we use today's Weisse Flotte Potsdam flag as a reference for both the Deutsche Binnenreederei and the Weisse Flotte flag, the ratio would be 1:4:1. I would say we go with Meyers Neues Lexikon.
