CHUNG JU 2 or 3

Post by aukepalmhof » Fri Jul 01, 2011 8:43 pm

In 1993/1994 South Korea issued a set of stamps where one of them depicts a
small passenger launch. The set was issued in 1993 and 1994.


From a tip from a contact in Korea, we have now discovered some more information
on this small ship.
It is the high-speed passenger launch CHUNG JU 2 or 3 built by Miwon Trading and
Shipping, Busan, Korea in 1986 for Jung Ahang Express. She is part of a seven
fleet series all named CHUNG JU 1-7 and are 37 tons and a length of 28m.
They are used as sightseeing boats on the man-made lake behind the Choong Joo
Dam.

South Korea 1994 1190w sg2130, scott1737.
