As we are surrounded by water, the seaway remains the preferred transportation in the economic life of islanders, whether in the northern or southern hemisphere. It is this similarity that the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and French Polynesia have in common.

On the occasion of the 73rd Autumn exposition in Paris, Fare Rata the French Polynesia Post Office, had the honour of producing a joint issue on the ship LANGLADE now renamed the HAWAIKI NUI in collaboration with the Territorial Council and the head of post office from Saint-Pierre et Miquelon.

Formerly a ro-ro vessel, commonly known as the Ro-ro (roll-on/roll-off meaning roll-in, roll-out), the LANGLADE provided cargo and passenger service in the archipelago Saint Pierre-et-Miquelon from the 1980s, connecting Saint-Pierre and Canada.
Then she sailed near Canadian waters under the name of NORTHERN CRUISERS before being bought in the late 1990s to sail in the tropical lagoons of French Polynesia under the current name HAWAIKI NUI.

Owned by the Société de Navigation Polynésienne (SPN), the HAWAIKI NUI transports goods and passengers between the capital of Papeete and the Leeward Islands twice a week. Repainted in blue lagoon colour, it has a crucial role to limit the opening up of the islands, allowing the supply at a lower cost than the air service. Illustrated by Patrick Dérible, a native of this small part of France and known for having produced for the post office of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon many stamps of ships almost all engraved made, the stamp and its sheet present the ship in the center, surrounded by a side of the ice of the far north-facing our beaches and coconut trees.

The issue was engraved by Mr Pierre Barra, a great figure in the philatelic world.

Fare Rata, the French Polynesia post office, is pleased to retrace this beautiful sailing history in collaboration with our friends from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and will see you at the autumn exposition in Paris, next November.
