1867 SMS Vineta, Shanghai (8 Jan) to Prussia, sent "via Trieste", applied with Shanghae BPO Webb type A cds in blue. Transit Hong Kong (12 Jan). Arrived Berlin (27 Feb). Postage due of "5" was marked by crayon. By that time North German Confederation was not yet formed. Vineta was on a cruise to the Far East and South Sea from Dec 1865 to Sep 1868. A rarity of German maritime history. Also, as adhesive was already supplied in Shanghai BPO around 1863, applying Webb type A cds on frankless cover should be rather rare by that time as well.

1867.1.8 由普魯士戰艦Vineta號自上海寄普魯士，寫有“via Trieste”批示，鈐上海英局Webb A型藍色日戳。1.12經香港。2.27抵柏林。寫有“5”欠資批注。當時北德邦聯尚未成立，而Vineta號於1865年12月至1868年9月間到遠東進行巡航，為難得之德國海郵史珍品。另外，由於上海英局早於1863年提供郵票，故鈐Webb A型日戳於無貼票郵件上在當時應頗為少見。
