The "Joachim" Collection
Cape Colony Ocean Post Office and Related Mail
1913 (16 Nov.) postcard (Walmer Castle) from Madeira to Katanga, Belgian Congo, bearing Transvaal 1d. cancelled by a fair to fine strike of the "ocean post office/south/africa/10" double-ring datestamp and with Elisabethville transit datestamp (12.12) datestamp alongside; the only recorded example of this datestamp, apparently taken from stock when the R.M. S.S. Walmer Castle's U.K. and S.A. Sea P.O. datestamp was lost or damaged, and used for only one voyage
