| 1927-1940: Ship (Design T Jensen Engraver F Britze) |
With a fair wind we set sail

| 1947: Centenary of State Railways (Design F Holm Engraver H Cheffer) |
Integrated transport with a rail ferry, I wonder how many of these are left certainly not this one.

All at sea with the Hospital Ship 'Jutlandia' which was converted for service in the Korean war and served in the area for 3 years.

| 1941: Vitus Bering (Design V Bang Engraver J Britze) |
A taste for adventure? Travel with Vitus Bering although choose your ship wisely if wanting to survive the experience

| 2016: Shackleton and the Endurance Expedition |
Shackleton and Endurance - one of the great survival stories and regarded as the last of the heroic expeditions of the polar regions. Stranded in sea ice for 4 months until the ship was crushed they certainly needed endurance to survive the next 6 months but all 28 did

| 2013: Merchant Navy |
And for Remembrance Sunday those who served on the Arctic Convoys in WW2 which sailed between the Arctic ice pack and German bases in Norway bringing supplies to Russia. Attacked by U Boats, aircraft and warships and especially dangerous in winter when the ice came further south. The stamps show - clearing the deck of ice on HMS George V and a Merchant Navy Convoy
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Ships - sail with See It On A Postcard

I'm glad you found something for Remembrance Day (I admit, I didn't look very hard - have terrible war fatigue)
That Danish ship has some beautiful billowing sails. And I remember taking the train from Hamburg to Copenhagen and waking up on the ferry!
Thank you for sharing. I've always been intrigued by Shackleton and the Endurance story.
Very beautiful and interesting stamps. I really like the two stamps of the Endurance story.
I love those vintage stamps featuring ships. I was a bit obsessed with Shackleton and Endurance story during some time. Those stamps are among my favourites.
