FRANK WILD launch

Post by aukepalmhof » Mon Nov 06, 2017 8:39 pm

The launch depict on this stamp is the FRANK WILD belonging to the Sulivan Shipping in Port Stanley.
The company has four high speed launches for hire in 2017 which provide crew changes, delivering provision between vessels, survey work, sight seeing tours, cruise vessel excursions, piloting.
I have not any detail on the FRANK WILD, all info welcome.

The other vessel on the stamp is the fishing vessel ARGOS VIGO see: http://www.shipstamps.co.uk/forum/viewt ... igo#p10349

By the £1.01 stamp is given by the Falkland Post.
The fishing operation is supported by numerous service providers including launch operators who provide port logistic services. The FRANK WILD in the foreground is a 50' Halmatic pilot boat, originally built for the Humber Pilot Authority in 1975 and named the CAPTAIN F W EVENDEN. She was bought by Sullivan Shipping Services in 1988 and transported to the Falkland Islands on the deck of the FI patrol vessel FALKLANDS RIGHT and renamed the FRANK WILD after the famous Antarctic Explorer. She has served the company well for almost 30 years.
