Falkland Islands: 1936, George Roberts unadopted essay of S.S. Great Britain to commemorate the 50th year of her arrival in the Islands, the design employing the image of a vessel off Lundy island, with inscription recording Bristol 1843, Stanley 1936, Guppy (the builder) and Brunel (the engineer), handcoloured on thin card (46 x 28mm.) affixed to thick paper. Ex Henniker-Heaton private collection. A unique item, previously unrecorded, and most attractive. Photo. A fund raising venture was undertaken in 1936 to restore the ship for use as the local Sea Rover troop headquarters. Letters were written by the then Governor of the Islands, Henniker-Heaton, to the Lord Mayor of Bristol and the Manager of the Bank of New South Wales appealing for financial support and a Public Works Manager was asked to prepare a detailed estimate of costs. The manager was Roberts himself, and the essay would have been produced at this time in support of the project. Unfortunately the estimate of £10,021.16s.6d. was judged too great at a Council meeting held in April 1936 and plans for restoration were shelved. Although sinking the vessel was considered the next option, she was later towed out and beached at Sparrow Cove until her rescue and return to Bristol in 1970.

United States of America: 1912 (Mar. 5) envelope from Paris to Washington, D.C., bearing a superb strike of the R.M.S. ''TITANIC'' handstamp in purple, also stamped ''267957'' in turquoise, Washington arrival c.d.s. on reverse for March 18th, a major maritime rarity and a truly historic item. Only four examples of the ''TITANIC'' handstamp are known. The French postal service allocated covers prior to departure, and they were stamped with the name of the ship on which they were to be carried. The ''TITANIC'' handstamp has been confirmed as authentic by The Titanic Historical Society in the U.S.A. The ship was due to sail on its maiden voyage on March 20th 1912, but this was delayed, due to repairs required to the Olympic, following a collision with the Hawke in 1911. Among the repairs made was a replacement of her damaged starboard propeller crankshaft with one also planned for installation on the Titanic. The first National Coal Strike was underway at this time and this was not settled until April 6th, after which coal for the vessel still had yet to reach Southampton. Rather than further delay, the French postal authorities reallocated the cover for passage on another ship. The Titanic eventually sailed - fatally - on April 10th 1912, and sank with the loss of over 1500 lives on April 15th. Photo.
