Carried by German warship SMS 'Marie' on her return journey after running aground off New-Mecklenburg, German New Guinea on 26.12.1884 and spending four months being repaired in dry-dock at Sydney. The voyage was slow as she had to avoid stressing the hull, and this item was transferred en route, arriving in Berlin six weeks before the ship arrived at Wilhelmshafen. Colin Tabeart states that North-German Lloyd ships occasionally carried Australian mail in the period before they began a contract service to Sydney in 1886 (see Vol 2 p310), but does not mention any mail carried by German naval vessels.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH: 1871 6/- black & carmine SG T7, contemporary pen cancel, SG Cat £1500 for mint and unpriced used. A rarity. These stamps were issued without formal authorisation and were therefore quickly withdrawn. Telegrams with telegraph stamps affixed were supposed to be destroyed. We have seen very few used examples and this is the only 6/- we have recorded. (Image1)
