by Helge W. Winck, who also operated briefly the Rederi A/B Wanadis,
before ceasing operations around 1970. The quoted vessel "I,H. Winck"
was sold in 1954 being replaced by another of the same name in 1955.

Waxholms Ångfartygs AB (Sweden) - Vertically divided swallowtail, yellow
and blue with a large, massive, black "W" over all.
Jorge Candeias, 28 March 2001
This company has passenger lines from Stockholm out in the archipelago,
e.g. to the town of Vaxholm, which used to be spelled "Waxholm". A
short form of the company's name is Waxholmsbolaget.

Collectors Corner flag badges show the version
given by Jorge plus a second as an "aldre version" which shows a
smaller yellow area and letter.

According to Collectors Corner there was such a
company based Stockholm but so far I have not managed to trace it.
Possibly it was a trade name based on the flag from the cap badge of a
blue swallowtail bearing a white star.

This company apparently began operations around
1900 being involved in tugs and barges. As well as the blue flag shown
by Jarig the Nüsse site [5] shows a table flag also of blue but with the
"W" gold and the flag having a narrow gold border [w98a above]. Two cap badges
on the Collectors Corner site also vary. One shows black with a yellow "W" [w181
above] though as
this seems to be more the sewing on of the basic design onto black
cloth which also shows as a background, I find it suspect. However the
2nd appears likely showing a horizontal bicolor of black over yellow
with the "W" counterchanged [w182 above]. The slight
difference in title refers to their tug activities. There appears to
have been a change of emblem going by the funnel designs occurring at
least by 2004 with possibly the new logo meant to be a very stylized
"W". The company itself is still operating but in 2005 it set up
Marine Carrier A/B through which its shipping activities are run. It
also uses the new logo on its funnels but nothing is known of any new
flag.
