GOÉLETTÉ shipwreck on Langlade

Post by aukepalmhof » Fri May 24, 2019 8:41 pm

St Pierre et Miquelon issued one stamp in 2019 which shows us a shipwreck on Langlade.
Many ships have been wrecked on this island and the stamp shows us a not identified wreck of a wooden goéletté (schooner).

I have been many times in that vicinity and without a good radar or GPS it are dangers waters with severe weather conditions, special dense fog for days on end. Many times I could hardly see the bow of the vessel.

St Pierre et Miquelón 2019 0.50 Euro sg?, scott?
