If any member who has bought the complete set of the ships from Malta and has no need for the one showing the ship Port Chalmers I would love to hear from them with a view to purchase.

I was successful in obtaining from the Malta Philatelic Bureau the sheet of 8 stamps one of which depicted Port Chalmers - a ship of Port Line and managed by Cunard. In 1916 Cunard Line took over Commonwealth & Dominion Line (Port Line). Port Line ships were given the Cunard funnel colours but otherwise the company continued to operate independently. In 1937 Commonwealth & Dominion Line officially became Port Line Ltd.
