1095 - Shipbuilding
I was interested in this stamp for a couple of reasons. First, while everyone learns about the Jamestown colony, the Popham colony was a mystery to me (for more information on the colony, click here). And second, I went to a summer camp, Camp Chewonki, near where the colony was located and was on the "Sagadahoc" team.
Below you will find photos of all my 1095 FDCs divided into six sections: Ceremony Program, Mellone, Of The Period, Add Ons, Combos, and Non FDCs. Since cachetmakers sometimes produce different cachets for the same stamp or slightly different versions of the same cover, I am showing either a single photo, multiple photos, a photo gallery view, or a slider view (when I have additional text per cover). Sometimes I will also add variations that have interesting cancellations (I have identified one pre-date (Aug. 14th), two unofficial cancels (Georgetown, ME and Popham Beach, ME), and five distinct Bath, ME cancels), usages, or destinations (so far the most interesting are to New Zealand, Malaya, Philippines, and Guatemala). Uniquely, I also have seven Artcraft FDCs autographed by all the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's designers and engravers who worked on this stamp. In all cases, you can click to see an enlarged photo of the cover or postcard. I have also put all the 1095 FDCs I own into a single, easy to view photo gallery.
I am always on the lookout for additional 1095 Shipbuilding covers. If you know of any cachetmakers I am missing or can provide corrections to this site (particularly in identifying "unknown" cachetmakers), please email me at LPD Cachets.
