Tall Ships On Stamps

It has been over 4 years since Resolution and Discovery appeared on this thread so I hope that no one will mind if I show them again. An interesting sheet, the Captain James Cook stamp (Scott 1732) was designed by Robert F. Szabo from a portrait by Nathaniel Dance. The Resolution and Discovery stamp (Scott 1733) was designed by Jak Katalan from the painting by John Webber. These stamps were printed by Giori press and issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook's arrival in Hawaii, at Waimea, KLauai on January 20, 1778, and of his anchorage in Cook Inlet, near Anchorage, Alaska, on June 1, 1778.

Haven't seen these here yet, from Russia, 1971, from a set of 5.

Here are images of the four stamps in a tall ships set engraved and printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., and issued for use in the British territory of Tristan da Cunha on June 1, 1969, Scott Nos. 124-27, SG Nos. 121-24.

nice stamps guys?
? any one know the country that
put out the first ship stamp
and in what year (I dont know)

I've always liked this stamp from Barbados, as it shows a ship from the rich nautical history of my country. It's just too bad that the people designing the stamp had not enough knowledge of Dutch. The ship type shown is not called Flyut (that's not even a word). The right term is of course Fluyt.

Here is an image of a stamp depicting Columbus's ship the Santa Maria and the emblem for the 500th anniversary celebration of the discovery of the New World, designed by Mexican artist Ramón Alcántara Rodríguez, printed by photogravure, and issued by Mexico on October 12, 1987, Scott No. 1519.
