Articles From Past Issues of Watercraft Philately
and
Pages From Ships on Stamps Exhibits
Watercraft Philately has been published for 52 years. In that time, there have been many interesting articles about ships and their histories that should be of interest to current collectors. This section of the web site is intended to become an archive of such articles. Stories will be added as time allows so check back at least occasionally.
Included here are also some pages from exhibits that feature ships on stamps. You can get an idea as to how to exhibit your stamps, either at home or at a stamp show.

The America's Cup is a popular topic with collectors of yachts on stamps. These three links will take you to several of these articles. For some reason, these articles load very slowly. Please be patient while they load and we try to speed up the loading process.
America's Cup 1 1851 to 1920 (8 pages)
America's Cup 2 1930 to 1987 (9 pages)
America's Cup 3 2000 to 2003 (4 pages)
Under the menu item 'Ship Topic Pages' on the left you will also find another story featuring the America's Cup.

Waterways the world over are maintained by dredges. Without them, modern waterborne commerce would be very different.

Lloyd's of London is an old respected underwriter. Many stamps have been issued for this company. This exhibit, by member Norma Nielson, has been updated to show the pages exhibited at the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada show in Calgary called "Royal 2006 Royale" where it received a national vermeil and
the ATA First Award.
WARNING! Each frame is 16 pages or about 3MB in size but it is well worth the wait.
The exhibit has four frames. Frame1 Frame2 Frame3 Frame4

This exhibit shows the various aspects of ship stamp collecting. It was developed in order to show stamp show attendees what this facinating hobby is all about.
