1836 (Jan 27) Macao to London, endorsed with “p. Sarah” private ship, on the front side, cancelled by a strong inked red color

1836 (Jan 27) Macao to London, endorsed with “p. Sarah” private ship, on the front side, cancelled by a strong inked red color step-type “SHIP LETTER / FALMOUTH”, a manuscript rate charge of “1/8” (1s 8d). On the reverse side, cancelled by two rectangular “INDIA LETTER / FALMOUTH” cancellations in rose red, which are over-strike by to corresponding step-type “SHIP LETTER / FALMOUTH”. The ship letter was incorrectly identified as originated from India but subsequently rectified as being sent from Macao/ China, and hence matching with firstly cancelled by “INDIA LETTER / FALMOUTH” and then over-strike by step-type “SHIP LETTER / FALMOUTH”. Covers originating from Macao were not eligible for the special India letter rates. The first “India Letter” handstamp was likely applied by mistake in Falmouth. Upon arrival in London, a second strike was likely applied. At this point, the error was noticed and all prior strikes were overstruck by the “Ship Letter” marking.

First Opium War – The Opium Trade Opium Clipper Ship Hercules: 1836 (6 June, and 16 June) two letters with separate account written on

First Opium War – The Opium Trade Opium Clipper Ship Hercules: 1836 (6 June, and 16 June) two letters with separate account written on board the ‘Hercules’ at Cumsingoon Island to Edward Crooke in Canton; there are no postal markings other than two Chinese ink characters ”局碌”on the flap; there is the usual light horizontal filing fold. Very Good mails from Cumsingmoon. Hercules was built at Calcutta in 1814. She traded between Britain and India under a license from the British East India Company, before returning to Calcutta registry. She then traded opium between India and China before becoming an opium receiving ship for Jardine Matheson. In 1839 she was one of the vessels that surrendered her store of opium to be burned at the behest of Chinese officials at Canton. Cumsingmoon is the prominent water gateway of Canton River for the smugglers to privately ship opium chests into Whampoa during 1830s at the beginning of opium smuggling period. A very nice group of opium trade related materials. 鴉片煙快速大飛艇“Hercules”: 1836年3月26日寫於金星門往廣州的 Hercules之信函, 寄給廣州的Edward Crook。
