DAMAGED BY WATER. 1951 envelope from St. Louis to Chicago with a cancellation of FEB 6 1951. A violet two line cachet 'Mail damaged by water / Postage Paid' has been applied to the front of the cover. In late January and early February 1951 there was a very severe ice storm that left thousands of square miles under nearly a foot of ice. When this started to melt there would have been localised flooding and presumably that is what occurred to damage this envelope. An uncommon item and the only such one that I have recorded during this period to date

The 6564 tons Kingstonian was built in 1901 for the West Indian trade for the Leyland Line. On 11 April 1918, the Kingstonian was torpedoed by a German submarine, the U68 in the Mediterranean having left Alexandria, Egypt on the 4th April. Although holed she was taken in tow and finally reached Carlosorte in Sardinia, where presumably the mail and cargo were off-loaded. Due to the extent of the damage, it was decided to return her to Alexandria for repairs. She put to sea but on the 29th April was torpedoed again, this time by U48 and was sunk with the loss of one crew member. This picture post card (Quartier Arabe) is endorsed O.A.S. and has an Army Post Office SZ 22 AP 2 18 cancel of Port Said, Egypt.

On 3 March 1907, the American steamer ‘Dakota’, owned by the United States Great Northern Railway Company, was wrecked two miles from Noshima Lighthouse, near Tokyo, Japan, while on a voyage from Seattle to Yokohama and then Hong Kong. Of the two hundred and ninety nine bags of mail the ‘Dakota’ was carrying, the majority was saved by the 7th March. However eighty bags were washed ashore and this mail was damaged by being soaked by sea water. A number of different types of labels or hand stamp were used on this mail to signify why it had arrived damaged. This cover from Germany to Japan has a red cachet ‘Received by Dakota.’ This was applied in Tokyo. A Japanese Officially Sealed label is on the back of the cover along with a Kobe 10.8.07 receiving cancel.
