The ship on the stamp was identified by the late Mr. Argyle as the ERNST THALMAN built in 1829 as the Danish HVIDBJORNEN but Navicula gives that type HABICHT II is depict. Stanley Gibbons gives type HABICHT I. (hawk) Watercraft Philately also as HABICHT II.
I agree with NAVICULA that one of the HABICHT II type is depict. Four of this type were built as Schiff 2003 completed in 1953, Schiff 2004 completed in 1953, Schiff 2005 completed in 1954 and Schiff 2006 completed in 1954.
