Ship Letter Markings with Guernsey Associations

Exhibitor: Julian Bagwell
There are at least three types of ship letter markings relating to Guernsey: ship letters that arrived from overseas and which were landed at Guernsey to be put into the postal system and thus carried a Guernsey Ship Letter handstamp; letters addressed to Guernsey from abroad that were landed at a variety of ports and normally carried the Ship Letter handstamp of that port; and  letters from Guernsey to Great Britain or Ireland that were not put into the post in Guernsey but carried by ship to a mainland port. Examples of all three types, together with the various styles of Ship Letter handstamps, are exhibited
