Pinisi junk and Expo 86 emblem, printed by photogravure, and issued by Indonesia on May 2, 1966 to publicize the 1986 World Exposition in Vancouver, Canada, Scott No. 1284. I believe the bird-like emblem on the sail may be a stylized version of the Indonesian national coat of arms, the Garuda Pancasila (see photo below).

when I did my newbe post I promised to post the Sailing Ships of the World pages that I am creating in word, so here goes, hope this works




The last page shows a correction I have taped on...The correction has been made in word but I have not printed out a new page yet to replace this one.
I now have completed over 50 pages but have not yet made a dent in my collection and perusing this website on sailing ships I see a lot of stamps I do not have yet
