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 Phoenicians, or Sidonians as they called themselves built stout, seagoing sailing vessels of up to 300 tons displacements.
These had many of the features of both Cretan and Egyptian ships, were single-masted and could only sail with the wind, relying at other times on slave oarsmen.
The stem-posts were carved to resemble horses ‘heads’ and the inward curving sternpost took the form of fishtails.
Piracy was rife; thus, Phoenician trading ships were always heavily armed.
