About the stamp design: This stamped card bears an image of a two-masted schooner. It was illustrated by Libby VanderPloeg, who used a photo of the Columbia as inspiration. The schooner was built in 2014 and is a replica of another sailing ship built in 1923.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony for the Schooner postal card took place during the Minnesota Stamp Expo, which was held in Crystal, Minnesota.
About U.S. Postal Cards: The US Post Office Department issued its first postal card in 1873 with an original rate of 1¢. The stamp imprinted stamp was a brown image of Liberty inside an ornate oval frame. Modern US postal cards often have imprinted stamps with full-color designs. Today, over 500 different US postal cards have been issued.
History this postal card represents: For over two centuries, schooners were the unsung heroes of America’s maritime life. With their sleek, two-masted design, they hauled freight, fished deep waters, patrolled coastlines, and even served during wartime. Fast, agile, and reliable, schooners earned a reputation as the backbone of coastal commerce from the 1700s well into the 20th century.
one of eth most iconic schooners was Columbia, launched in 1923 in Essex, Massachusetts. Columbia wasn’t a work vessel – she was a racer. Schooners of her kind competed in fierce regattas (a series of boat races) that captured national attention and celebrated the seamanship of the ships’ crews.
A replica of Columbia was constructed in 2014, preserving the original’s graceful lines and powerful build. This modern Columbia continues to sail today, keeping alive the tradition of excellence in American shipbuilding.
This stamped card is a fitting tribute to this classic vessel and the maritime history it represents.
