"The Three Mackerels"
"The Three Mackerels" is the
office flag of Jebsen & Co. , and this logo was painted on all ships
funnels in the Jebsen fleet. Here the logo painted on "Emma Jebsen's"
funnel.
"The Three Mackerels" are inspired
from the city of Aabenraa's weapon, which also displays three mackerels,
but all swimming in the same direction, while one of them in the Jebsen
logo swims in the opposite direction.
For fun we used to say , that
the symbolism behind that was, that two of the mackerels were on their
way out in the big world to make money, while the third one was returning
with the profit! Therefore different directions - - -
