By this set of six stamps to commemorative the Greek shipping is given by the Greek Post:
Over their long history, the Greeks have always been a seafaring people par excellence. In the years of subjugation, the Greek continued their nautical tradition, creating dockyards and shipyards, maritime firms and trading companies, not only in the places where they lived, but throughout the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Their unique skills in shipbuilding, on voyages and in handling cargoes and merchandise made them much sought after in the merchant fleets of other nations. During the years of revolution they were thus able to turn their vessels into warships and prevail in the struggle against the oppressors at sea, laying the foundation for the rebirth of the nation.
