 1912 (Mar 6) envelope from France to the USA with "TITANIC" handstamp, franked with France Semeuse 25c tied by Paris R.P. Depart machine cancel, with "RECEIVED / MAR 19 1912" and Washington arrival backstamp, a very fine and rare cover
with this Titanic handstamp with only 24 covers recorded (see Tom Fortunato's website http://www.titaniccovers.com, this example being unrecorded).
Note: The "TITANIC" mark is believed to have been applied in transit in Paris, it was then transferred to Cherbourg where it was due to have been taken by the Titanic. Although, due to complications with building the Titanic, the maiden voyage was
moved from March 20 to April 10. Word must not have reached the appropriate mail clerks and realising this, the cover was placed on the next available ship. (Image

 1937 Hindenburg Crash Cover. Envelope intended for the return journey and transported to North America by airship following the ill-fated Hindenburg airship LZ 129. This mail was contained in a box and survived the disaster unscathed, so
the covers were postmarked May 10 New York PAQUEBOT. Very few of these covers were intended for international transport, such as this one to Switzerland. It was delivered to the recipient with a separate letter from the Basel District Postal
Directorate on May 26, 1937, less than three weeks after the disaster. A truly remarkable find for any collector of Swiss air or Zeppelin mail collector. (Sieger 454 Cb; Mi. 63Da €4'000 plus €4'000 for the postal administration letter). (Image 1)
