The inscription showing the wrong date for the launch of QE2 is on the 47p sheet of 10 stamps not on the miniature sheet

The flag on the sheet showing QM2 is wrong. The ship is since late 2011 registered in Hamilton Bermuda but the flag shown is the flag of The Bahamas. At least the stamp names the ship correctly RMS Queen Mary 2 although she no longer carries mail. She was given the RMS designation in 2004 in honour ...

I was quite wrong to suggest that Vistafjord appeared on the St Lucia Aerogram of 1992.

Cunard Countess does and Daphne once part of Cunard’s port line fleet as Port Sydney is also shown along with other ships which are identified in the stamp index.

I did contact the United Nations in 1997 to get information on the designs and received the Press Release for the issue which reads "The 32-cent se-tenant strip of five stamps illustrate watercraft. Starting on the left, the first stamp depicts a clipper ship, a fast, sail powered, ocean crossi...

I think the stamp shown is RMS Caronia not her sister ship. The inscription on the stamp is SS Caronia

I suggest that the Carnival ship shown on the sheet might be Carnival Legend or Carnival Spirit. Both sail to Tonga from Sydney.

Hungary issued the commemorative stamp in memory of the Titanic and Dr Arpad Lengyel ship's doctor on the Carpathis the ship which hurried to the aid of the Titanic The main motif on the stamp is Titanic heading towards the iceberg, while the stamp shows parts of the liner, with in the top right cor...

The man shown on the stamp is the American impressionist painter Colin Campbell Cooper (1856 - 1937). He and his wife Emma were passengers on board RMS Carpathia when the transatlantic steamship arrived on the scene of the sunken RMS Titanic. Cooper and Emma assisted in the rescue of the survivors. ...

Until recently I have gone along with the fate of the Caledonia and Hibernia two ships belonging to Cunard and sold early in 1850 to the Spanish Navy for £35,000 but the new book on Cunard Line by Peter Newall has a different version and I am inclined to go along with that. Here are the extracts fro...

Slovenia in 2002 issued a stamp SG 567 showing Ressell's propellor with a ship in the top corner which may well be a representation of the Civetta of 1829.

I have to correct the entry. The ship shown on the stamp is of course Queen Elizabeth 2 and not the 2010 Queen Elizabeth. However there is an interesting connection with the 2010 Queen Elizabeth. When the Queen launched the ship in October 2010 she unveiled a portrait of herself commissioned by Cuna...

As well as the stamp from Turks and Caicos 1996 SG 1392there is also the stamp also from Turks and Caicos from 1995 SG1361 which shows diving on the Lusitania in a Peress armoured diving suit in 1935.

At long last I have obtained the 1997 stamp from Central African Republic which in the ATA booklet 156 suggests that the stamp depicts the liner QE2. In fact it does not - the ship shown is the royal yacht Britannia! A disppointment for me as I collect Cunard ships on stamps. However I am still look...

I was successful in obtaining from the Malta Philatelic Bureau the sheet of 8 stamps one of which depicted Port Chalmers - a ship of Port Line and managed by Cunard. In 1916 Cunard Line took over Commonwealth & Dominion Line (Port Line). Port Line ships were given the Cunard funnel colours but o...

If any member who has bought the complete set of the ships from Malta and has no need for the one showing the ship Port Chalmers I would love to hear from them with a view to purchase.
