Reeder Heinrich Schuldt. The company originated in 1868 so Heinrich may well have been the founder. Thereafter sources show it as H. Schuldt with Talbot-Booth giving the "H" for Harald. Like many others they seem to have managed or operated through other companies, in this case Flensburger Co. and Ozean Dampfer Co. who were amalgamated in 1936 and their title added to Schuldt to produce Flensburger Dampfercompagnie Harald Schuldt & Co. which Talbot-Booth describes as the addition of a "subsidiary title" until 1938 when it presumably became a proper company through which Schuldt operated. Thus the early flag sources show the described flag under these various names plus after WW2 Fruchtreederei Harald Schuldt & Co. In 2002 the company and its subsidiary Engineering Consulting & Management GmbH & Co. amalgamated into Norddeutsche Reederei H. Schuldt GmbH & Co. K.G. although the company website continues to show them operating as H. Schuldt OHG (GmbH) & Co. and still using the flag.
