VERY FINE. A PHENOMENAL USE OF A BLACK JACK STAMP TO ST. PIERRE AND MIQUELON. THIS IS SURELY UNIQUE.

The destination translates to Dog Island, which is one of a handful of small islands forming the dependency. It had no permanent residents and was inhabited for only part of the year by fishermen; it never had a post office. This was probably privately carried from Boston to Nova Scotia, which had regular ferry service to St. Pierre and Miquelon.
