SHIP STAMP SOCIETY
Interested in Ships and Stamps? The Ship Stamp Society is an international society and publishes it’s journal, Log Book, six time a year.
The editor of Log book will retire this coming August and, unless a new one comes forward, the society will close.
With this in mind, we are not taking in any new members.
This is an unfortunate situation but seemingly unavoidable.

The 80c stamp shows what I believe a canoe for migration voyages, she carries two crab claw sails, this double hulled canoe which originated in the Hawaii Island, where it was called a “wa’a kaulua” canoe, see: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10833&p=14777&hilit=wa%27a+kaulua#p14777
The $1 and $1.15 have the same design. Also on three of the stamps are mythology sculptures from the Cook Islands which were of important ancestral figures. These ancestors were often the first voyageurs to land on the Cook Islands.
