ZUIDERDAM

Post by shipstamps » Fri Sep 26, 2008 5:40 pm

The vessel depict in this set right under with the black hull is the ZUIDERDAM, not zuiderman or in the Uruguay post website info as zuderman, the images are not so clear that I can read which name is on the stamp, the vessels names are on the wrong stamp, the STAR PRINCESS is on the ZUIDERDAM stamp and the ZUIDERDAM is on the STAR PRINCESS stamp as can be seen on the image.

She was the first of the Vista class cruise liners.
