Ship Stamps

William Wheelwright (1798-1873) was an American businessman who played an essential role in the development of steamboat and train transportation in Chile and other parts of South America. Here is a image of an airmail stamp depicting Wheelwright and SS Chile, printed by lithogravure, and issued by Chile on August 2, 1966 to commemorate the 125th anniversary (in 1965) of the arrival of the paddle steamers Chile and Peru, Scott No. C268.
