dc.descriptionA glance at some of the markings and methods used for the carriage of mail by sea up to 1860 - taken from a talk given to the Philatelic Society (Malta) by Cecil Diamantinoen_GB
dc.description.abstractThe earliest recorded maritime markings appear during the last decade of the Knights' rule. Prior to that, some letters showed picturesque manuscripts inscriptions such as "Che Dio Aiuti", "Che Dio Guardi", "lddio accompagni a Salvamento", all wishing "God Speed" and a safe passage for the vessel. Of course none of these old letters bear any postmark and they were probably entrusted directly to the captains of the merchantships who delivered them more often than not to each addressee personally.
