Ruder-Club Oceana (from 1895 until 1964): A quarterly divided flag into
green and white with a sinister-bendy black anchor in the upper hoist.
Note: According to Mr. Buschmann, a member of the board of RC Süderelbe
and a former member of "Oceana" this flag is erroneous. "Oceana" used the
one depicted in Rudersportalmanach 1977.

The RC Oceana v. 1895 e.V. and the RC Salut v. 1892.e.V.
decided to merge on 17 February 1962. Salut existed until 1963
and Ocena until 1964. Both clubs formed since then the
RC Oceana which changed its flag as follows: The new
RC Oceana from 1964 until 1994 had a quarterly divided flag with two white
quarters(upper hoist and lower fly), a red one(upper fly) and a green one(lower
hoist). In the upper hoist quarter was a black inscription RCO
above 1895 .
According to Mr. Buschmann the flag of Oceana, depicted in RA77, was
correct but was used only up to 1964.
There existed two other predeccors of the club: the Wassersportverein:
Ruhe (1914-1933) and the Elbe-Ruder-Club Freiheit (1909-1934). But
their colours are not known.
