Ship Letter: 1904 (18 Apr.) Chile 2c. postal stationery card "Via Cordillesa" to Grenada, cancelled by San Felipe c.d.s. with Valparaiso and New York (28.5) transit c.d.s. and a neat strike of the circular "ship letter/grenada" code "C" c,d,s, (11.6). A rare marking and thought to be the earliest of only three recorded. Photo

This mail was sent from Valparaiso to New York, then to the Caribbean, probably to St. Vincent, where it was placed on the mail boat service to Carriacou. This postmark was apparently used as a transit on incoming mail on this service
