Thomas Coulson, Director of Museum Research of the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, who contacted the famous stamp dealer Philip Ward of Philadelphia, who wrote about the discovery in the October 22, 1954 edition of Mekeel's Weekly Stamp News (copy of the paper accompanies). Ward contacted August Dietz who was convinced that this plate is the one that left London on March 1, 1862 aboard the ship "Bermuda", which was captured by the Federal blockading ship "Mercedes" (see page 162 of Dietz's book or page 333 of the CSA handbook).
