More Paquebot Cancels

Gorgeous cancel!

Pleased to have discovered this thread!

Here's a nicely SOTN Spain Scott 304 (King Alfonso XIII) that appears to have arrived in Liverpool on 21 August 1922.



ETA: better image

Tonight, I will share with the club a nice addition to my specialized Hong Kong collection. I recently bought this Hong Kong stamp at a stamp show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA, which has a paquebot cancellation from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada dated June 21, 1935. The circle measures 28mm in diameter. Webb lists this cancel on page 381 as item 19(ii): "A 28mm circle containing PAQUEBOT at the top, VICTORIA at the bottom, and across the center POSTED AT SEA / RECEIVED / and date in three lines."

Below is a better example of this entire cancellation, with a different date, image snipped from eBay/stamps:

A recent purchase from an APS sales circuit. Sierra Leone Scott 47 - a re-purposed fiscal stamp with a paquebot cancel.

Arrived at Liverpool on May 3, 1897.

Your Hong Kong Linus reminded me I have this one, found in a mixed box many years ago.

Nice cancel, it reminded me of this postcard in my collection showing the port in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada where the ships came in from Japan and Hong Kong to unload passengers, freight, and mail...

Lovely postcard Linus

For the topic:

Two Paquebot cancellations from same sailing of RMS Mauretania (the second of this name) from Southampton to New York, via Le Havre (Aug.5th 1964) and Cobh/Cork (Aug.6th)
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_M...tania_(1938)
There is no identifying postmark of the ship, but it is handwritten on the back by the writer.

Another ..... for the subject

From my Collection: Newfoundland, 1919 Issue, 1c. Green / Caribou, with nice and clean CDS – "PAQUEBOT POSTED AT SEA – RECEIVED – JULY 19, 1922 – LIVERPOOL".

Bump.

I'm tackling a backlog of Great Britain stamps and found this one. Here's Great Britain Scott 1543 with a Maritime Mail cancel.

Interesting, It appears to be an extremely late use of that cancellation.

By the way, Google AI thinks it says AIR TIME?!

The ten-penny Edward VII stamp was issued in 1905. The StampWorld.com catalogue number is 25. Maybe the sender walked onboard with the postcard in hand?
