This stamp shows us the Longoni Port which is situated in the north part of the Mayotte Island, one of the Comoros Archipelago, North of Madagascar.
It is a small port and the stamp shows us a red hulled container vessel loading or discharging. The vessel is till so far not identified. Near the stern is another small vessel a tug or fishing boat also not identified?
Mayotte in 1976 through a referendum, rejected the independence that the rest of the Comoros archipelago had accepted; another referendum held in 2009 turned the territory into an overseas department of France on 31 March 2011.
