 "Magyar Keleti Gozhajozasi RT" (MKT) ship line of the Dalmatian coast 1911/16: Group of a cover and a postcard, incl. a 1911 registered express envelope with full contents from the Austrian office of
CONSTANTINOPEL to Kolozsvár / today Cluj in Romania, carried by "M.K.T. / S.S. KELET FIUME", matching ship's cachet and KOLOZSVAR arrival backstamps; also picture postcard of the "S.S. Kelet" used from Sulina; and 1916 Fieldpost card struck by
pre-war circular "GROF TISZA ISTVAN / FIUME / M.K.T." handstamp and "K.u.K. Seetransportleitung Expositur" as this MKT vessel was requisitioned in 1916 for transport duties between Fiume and Albania. Note: The MKT company was founded in 1897 as a
strategic expansion of the Hungarian River and Sea Navigation Company (MFTR) to "nationalise" Hungarian trade routes. It entered into long-term contracts with the Hungarian state and received substantial subsidies to promote the expansion of
Hungarian foreign trade. The official registration office and home port of the fleet was Fiume (now Rijeka, Croatia), which at the time belonged to Hungary. Initially, the MKT primarily served routes in the Black Sea and the eastern Mediterranean,
particularly on the routes between Marseille, Constantinople, and Odessa. Provenance: Collection John Pitts (Image 1)
