Seller's Description
Aprl 21, 1866 Folded letter sheet from St. Iago to NY via Bermuda
Addressed to:
Jonathan Thompson Esq.
New York
Ship "US MAIL STEAMSHIP/ FAH KEE APR. 21 1866" Shield!
***LESS THAN 10 RECORDED EXAMPLES!***
The passenger-cargo steamer Fah-Kee (or Fah Kee) was launched in 1862 at Greenpoint, Brooklyn and operated on the United States coast until purchased in July 1863 by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. The Navy used USS Fahkee as a collier and freight supply ship assigned to assist Union Navy ships patrolling Confederate waterways. At the end of the war she returned to mercantile service, as a mail ship to Cuba and Bermuda. In 1872 she was sold to Canadian owners, and renamed Pictou for service between that port and Quebec. In November 1873 she went missing and was believed lost by fire.

FOR COMPARISON ONLY (NOT INCLUDED)
is a Schuyler Rumsey Auction item with the same handstamp.
Very rare, so it realized $800.
This item came from a collection of 19th
Century Ship Covers & FLS's, all sailing to and from Havana and the eastern US seaboard. Many of the covers will have only small faults, as it's a pretty clean collection!
You'll find some interesting ship cancels, stamps, and postal markings.
Some will have less wear, and some will have more, so please, view my high quality scans carefully, and form your own opinion of condition. I will scan most or all of the important contents from each letter or cover if there is any.
In general, they will be in fine / very fine condition. Additional information upon request. Just message me! Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for your bids or purchase!
