Shipping postcards
Written by admin on 4 January, 2010 – 6:54 am -Messing about in boats. What could be more pleasant? Of course these postcards will feature vessels which cannot be described as mere 'boats'. All of the ships owned by the large merchant and passenger companies appear on postcards. So, look out for the Titanic or The Queen Mary. Also, smaller craft will appear, from yachts to sailing boats through barges and paddle steamers.
An interesting extension of the postcard hobby is the matching of vessels with postmarks which may or may not have been franked upon cards or other material. All in all, building up a collection of shipping postcards is a challenging and enjoyable hobby - although one does need to have a genuine interest in the subject. If not is may be better to stick to purely land-based subjects!
