  • BY US NAVY SHIPS by Dr David Watson (29 Dec 2017) Visits by US Navy Ships to BWI Were Recorded on Covers, Together with the Ports Where the Ship Berthed
    COURTESY VISITS TO THE BRITISH WEST INDIES (BWI) BY US NAVY SHIPS By Dr David Watson (29 Dec 2017) Visits by US navy ships to BWI were recorded on covers, together with the ports where the ship berthed. Sometimes these were shakedown voyages, to get the ships & crew in full working order ready for service. But some covers were cancelled when the ship was well past this stage. The cancels were provided by private contractors as kits with rubber letters to fit in slots in the cancel to indicate ship and place. Eleven different types of cancel have been classified by Locy (1). Cancels for US ships visiting BWI in the 1930’s appear to be mainly Locy type 3 with the occasional type 5. Cancels for BWI port/vessel combinations have been listed, in the Naval Cover Museum (2), by the Universal Ship Cancellation Society (3) & more extensively for Jamaica (4), as follows: • Basseterre/St. Kitts by USS Florida in 1922 & USS Honolulu in 1939. • Belize City/British. Honduras: USS Trenton in 1935. • Bridgetown/Barbados: USS Mahan 1936 & Tuscaloosa 1934. • Castle Island/Bahamas: USS Texas in 1937. • Castries/St. Lucia: USS Warrington in 1938. • Georgetown/British Guiana (Guyana): USS Cuttlefish in 1934. • Georgetown/Grand Cayman: USS Hannibal in 1914. • Kingston/Jamaica: USS Arctic, 1927; Camden, 1927; Mercy 1927; Cuttlefish, 1934; Wright, 1935; Shark, 1936; Craven 1937; Decator, 1937; Omaha, 1937; Tucker, 1937; Fanning 1938; Seal, 1938; Philadelphia, 1938,9; Balch, 1939; Medusa, 1939; Chandler, 1939 & St Louis, 1939. • Port of Spain/Trinidad: USS Hannibal in 1931 & 8). • St. George’s/Grenada: USS Colorado 1924 & USS Trenton 1930.

  • You‟D Think, After Some 70+ Years of Searching and Collecting, the Hobby Would Surely Have Rooted out All Existing Navy Ship Covers by Now
    RMS BULLETIN NO. 561 March/April 2013 by Mike Prero You‟d think, after some 70+ years of searching and collecting, the hobby would surely have rooted out all existing Navy Ship covers by now. But, the discovery of several unlisted navy ship covers within the last 18-24 months, including a Pre-War DQ, prompted me to wonder how many other hitherto unknown ship covers might still be out there, somewhere, waiting to be discovered. Of course, if they‟re as yet undiscovered, we can‟t really tell how many there are. Still, we can speculate...so... As near as I‟ve been able to find, the U.S. Navy+Coast Guard had some 1,000 ships in service on December 7, 1941 [http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/ships/ships-alpha.html]. Compared to that, the Pre-War Navy Ship listing lists, or soon will list, known covers from 423 ships, including US Maritime Service). Cross- checking both lists, here are known Pre-War ships for which no covers have yet been found: -USS Aaron Ward (DD-132) -USS Alcor (AG-34) -USS Antaeus (AS-21) -USS Abbott (DD-184) -USS Alcor (AR-10) -USS Antares (AKS-3) -USS Abel P.
