Venezuela
Ship Cancellation K.N.S.M. S.S. Stuyvesant
Ship cancellation from the S.S. Stuyvesant on Venezuelan Definitives of 1932 - 1938.
In 1897 the Universal Postal Union adopted the term "Paquebot" for ship
letters cancelled on board ship. The Venezuelan stamps pictured above
were from the Simon Bolivar definitive issue of 1932 on bluish Winchester security paper. They were cancelled on the S.S. Stuyvesant of the Koninklijke Nederlandsche Stoomboot Maatschappij (Royal Netherlands Steamship Society).
The S.S. Stuyvesant based on an image from a company post card.
