Stockholm - blue flag, upsidedown white "A".

Argonaut A/B. Josef Nüsse [5] in his table flag site shows a swallowtailed
version with a narrower emblem. Josef
however shows the flag upside down i.e. with the emblem reading as an
"A" which is quite logical but incorrect as the "upside down" version
as shown here is confirmed by the emblem appearing on the bow of their
"Argo Thetis". The company itself was a joint venture of
Walleniusrederierna, Sven Salen and Nordstrom & Thulin which was
formed in 1983 and ended up in 1998 as N&T Argonaut.

The inverted A is in fact the symbol of a bull's head. The bull would
be from the Greek mythology as is the case with the Company's name
Argonaut, and a number of their ships such as Golden Fleece, and
combinations of names such as: Argo Medea, Argo Hebe, Argo Elektra,
Argo Athena, Argo Thetis, Argo Daphne, Argo Pallas, Argo Artemis,
Argo Europa together with the name of a subsidiary company: Jason Shipping.
