1901 From steamship Crefeld to Germany, frankless, applied with scarce “KAIS. DEUTSCHE SCHIFFSPOST DAMPFER CREFELD” circular postmark.

1901 From steamship Crefeld to Germany, frankless, applied with scarce “KAIS. DEUTSCHE SCHIFFSPOST DAMPFER CREFELD” circular postmark. Arrived Wiesbaden (20 Oct). The steamship Crefeld was chartered to transport troops to Taku. It was given the Marine-shiffspost cancel No. 72. After the Boxer Rebellion, Crefeld was used to transport troops back to Germany but a private “CREFELD DAMPFER” cancel was used instead. In use only from Aug to late Oct 1901, hence, a great rarity.1901年由汽船Crefeld號寄德國，無貼票，鈐極罕之“KAIS.
