Stamp sheet detailsEach sheet contains 8 stamps showing RMS
Titanic's bow (front) and 8 featuring the stern (rear). The detailed
illustrations were based on existing photographs and are intended to be as
realistic as possible.
The bow:
Titanic's enormous bow and two front anchors appear in
the centre of the first pair of stamps. When you’re ready to mail, the pair
separates into a right and left stamp.
On the right side, you’ll see
Southampton (England), where the
Titanic began her maiden voyage.
On the left is
Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada), which became the centre
of recovery efforts after the ship sank.
The stern: The second stamp pair shows the 3 propellers that were
situated at the rear of the ship—2 larger outer propellers and a smaller centre
propeller. Again, the stamp pair separates into 2 for mailing.
At the bottom of each stamp sits the
house flag of the White Star Line
(
Titanic's owners). This iconic red flag flew from the
Titanic's
main mast and was also displayed on her tickets, cutlery and furniture.
Titanic 2012Ceremonies, exhibitions and other events will
be held in Canada and around the world to mark
Titanic's 100
th
anniversary.
For Canada Post, the release of our
Titanic stamp series is a chance
to honour the people of Halifax, who rose to take on the grim duty of recovering
the victims. It is a chance to remember an iconic moment in history…and help
keep the memory alive for a new generation of Canadians.
Use these
Titanic stamps to send letters and cards within Canada.
