USS CONSTITUTION CRUISE COVER
circa 1932-1934
USS Constitution, one of the US Navy's first six ships, was retired from military service in 1881. After restoration in the early 1930s, the ship made a three-year, ninety-port tour of the American coastline. At every port, tourists flocked to the historic vessel. They mailed many souvenir postcards and other correspondence, producing diverse covers and cancels. |
