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.

450L- Emil Racovițа was the first researcher to collect botanical and zoological samples from areas beyond the Antarctic Circle. The results of his research were published in 1900, under the title "The life of animals and plants in Antarctica". 40Zl- Henryk Arctowski-was a Polish scientist, oceanographer and explorer of Antarctica. In 1895 he took connection to the organizer of the first Belgian Antarctic Expedition, Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery, and was hired by this as a research Assistant Director. In this Belgica expedition, which went from 1897 to 1899, Arctowski gathered a large amount of scientific data. So he documented the formation of sea ice and icebergs in many and collected the results of meteorological observations over a full year. As an oceanographer, he created with the help of probes a bathymetric map of the area traversed. After the expedition Arctowski prepared his data in the Royal Belgian Observatory ( Observatoire Royal de Belgique) on in Ukkel. 5Zl- Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski - Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski was a Polish geophysicist, meteorologist and explorer.While still a student in biology, physics and chemistry at the University of Liège he took part in the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897-1899) as assistant meteorologist. In addition he studied ice crystallography and light phenomena in ice clouds. These data enabled him to write a monumental treatise on the crystallography of ice and snow. After his return from the Antarctic he obtained a scholarship in Belgium to study his results and collaborated with Georges Lecointe at the Royal Observatory of Belgium. (65+55)gr- Arctowski and Dobrowolski were the first to conduct year-round meteorological and hydrographical observations off Antarctica. The postcard was issued in honor of the 100th anniversary of the participation of Arktovski and Dobrovolski in the Antarctic expedition on «Belgica» in 1898.
