sh-tnoid, I loved those poster stamps so much that I bought the poster set from the Post Office, and now they're framed and hanging on walls all over my house.

But my all-time favourite Australian issue is the humble Clipper Ships of 1984. Call me a traditionalist, but I think they're beautiful. (Pity about the official FDC... a tad dull.)

I was so sad to see the Cutty Sark (the subject of the 30c) go up in flames in London last week. I'm just glad I was able to make the pilgrimage to the old girl not too long ago.

Hey Aladdin & Kenny

Welcome to stampboards.

Aladdin the posters are nice, I got them as well, but I haven't done anything with them yet.

I love the GB stamps you posted Kenny.

If it saves you any time, I hunted high and low without success for the perfect frames, before stumbling across some at humble Officeworks. (Hope there's one in Droughtsville, SA.) The perfect size (if you're happy to trim a millimetre off the posters here and there), and a beautiful dark brown wood with a gold trim that fits the era of these posters perfectly. And way cheaper than the custom-framing which was shaping up as my only other option!

Apologies to all for this diversion from actual ships. Let me make it up to you with one of the few decorative gutter strips I've ever been sucked into buying, 'Murray River Shipping' from a few years back. It's not just the paddlesteamers that are historic... look! The Murray used to have WATER in it!

Thanks for the tip Aladdin

. Nice gutter strip as well.

This is the latest from Aus Post on ships. As MargoZ mentioned in another thread there is apparently a mis print on the $2, it should say 121 lives lost.

Here's a cover that fits well with the topic.

Its a FFC. First Float Cover.

Sent on maiden voyage of the ss "United States" from Southampton 10th July 1952. Vessel was proudly proclaimed the new flagship of the United States Lines.

Bit tatty, however only such cover I've seen.

Should this thread be of vessels other than old sailing ships? There is already a thread on that which is still quite active....

Here is an image of a stamp depicting French statesman Georges Benjamin Clemenceau (1841-1929) and an artist's conception of the French Navy battleship le Clémenceau (spelled with an accent mark over the first "e"), which was laid down on January 17, 1939 to be built by Arsenal de Brest. In 1940 the incomplete hulk of le Clémenceau was captured by the Germans. The hulk was floated out in 1943, and finally bombed and sunk by the Allies on August 27, 1944. This stamp was designed and engraved by Albert Decaris, and issued by France on April 18, 1939, Scott No. 371, Y&T No. 425.

SS Pasteur was a turbine steam ship built for Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique and launched in August, 1939. The Pasteur was 29,253 gross tons, 212.4 m long and 26.8 m wide. She had 11 decks, possessed extensive loading spaces, and was designed to carry 751 passengers. Her usual service speed was around 22 knots, making her the third fastest ship of her time. Although she was sometimes referred to as an SS (Steamship), Pasteur really was a TSS or TS (Turbine Steam Ship). In 1957, she was acquired by North German Lloyd and renamed TS Bremen. In all, she sailed for 41 years, and was considered as one of the most beautiful passenger liners of her time. Here is an image of a semi-postal stamp depicting Pasteur, designed and engraved by Albert Decaris, and issued by France on July 17, 1941, Scott No. B114, Y&T No. 502. Given the parlous position of the small sailboat in the picture, it's a darn good thing this stamp's design is merely a drawing, and not an actual photo!
