FINANCE” On the morning of 26 November 1908, the steamer Finance of the Panama Railroad Steamship Company line was hit by the steamer “Georgic” of the White Star line off Sandy Hook in New York Harbour and sank shortly after. The Finance had been due to sail from New York on November 23 but had been delayed by dense fog for three days. Three passengers and 1 crewman drowned in the incident. All the mail on board was destined for Central America – mainly Panama and Colon. There are two different labels and a straight line handstamp that were applied to recovered mails. This cover posted at HUDSON TERM. STA. NOV 17 1908, addressed to Panama City, Panama, has the label attached to the back of the cover. A 10 DEC canceller ties the label

1919 PANAMA?. 1919 cover from Trinidad to Australia posted DE 3 19 and endorsed ‘card’ that arrived in Sydney on February 24th 1920. On the back of the cover is a two line cachet ‘DEMAGED BY FIRE IN / CHI & CBL, FS TR7.19..’ The second line is inverted !! The route from Trinidad to Australia would have been via Panama and one can only assume that this is where the incident happened. The Panama Canal Zone and the railway were American which would explain the similarity to American train incident cachets. As this is the only cover known from this incident, further details are sketchy, but considering the time taken for the cover to arrive in Australia (83 days) the incident must have been quite serious
