Danish West Indies: Floating Dock Company of St.Thomas Limited, £3 1/- shares, 18[79], #126, black. A concession was granted by the Danish Government to build the floating dock in the free port of St.Thomas which was being used by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company as its Caribbean headquarters. After some damage caused by hurricanes the dock became operational in 1875. In 1897 the company received a 21 year monopoly on the dock operations and in 1900 it acquired the wharf and factory belonging to Royal Mail on Hassel Island and became known as Saint Thomas Dock, Engineering and Coaling Company Ltd. Heavy crease but AVF and rare.
