S.S. President, 1840-41. Specialized study collection of this early
Cunard steamship, which completed only four transatlantic crossings
before disappearing on the return trip from New York to Liverpool
in March 1841, comprising 13 covers including three from the maiden
outbound voyage, maiden return, second outbound (3), second return
(3, including one from New Orleans with 50c plus 50c Freight Money
charge), last outbound voyage, also incl. 10/29/1840 from Baltimore
intended for the President but refused because Freight Money charge
had not been paid, and a remarkable cover from Charleston S.C.
8/27/1840 with two large "25" handstamps (25c plus 25c Freight
Money) intended for President sailing but handstamped "Too Late" in
N.Y. and sent on the Blue Swallowtail Line's Roscoe, all Very Fine,
a fascinating study of mail carried by this historic (and
ill-fated) Cunarder, all carefully described on exhibit pages with
extensive detail regarding sailings and markings, the maiden voyage
covers are worth $300-400 each, the two prepaid Freight Money
covers $400-500 each, and the others $100-200 each — the
opportunity to acquire this significant collection in one lot is
priceless, ex Arthur White
