for £977 - and Robin Gwynn. A rare shipwreck cover, of which only three items have been recorded by Brian Peace: illustrated by him at page 60. [The assessed postage was 6d shipletter from NSW to London + 1/- China packet Singapore-London + 10d for
½oz via Marseilles = 28d converted in the USA to 56c but treated as a double-letter from Singapore so reassessed 6d + 1/- x2 + 10d x2 = 50d = 98c (why not 100c??)]
'Phoenix' departed Sydney 23.6.1855. On 8.7.1855, having almost cleared the Torres Strait, it was wrecked. Fortuitously, a passing Danish (!) ship, the 'Cecrops' rescued the passengers & crew & conveyed them to Batavia from where the mails were
forwarded to Singapore, then per P&O to Southampton, arriving 5.10.1855, & forwarded per trans-Atlantic Collins liner 'Atlantic', departing Liverpool 6.10.1855
