Tristan da Cunha

Early Postal History
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
2501   imageTristan da Cunha, 1793, Tristan da Cunha letter by Admiral Sir Erasmus Gower, endorsed at Chusan Harbor off the coast of China, autographed letter (no outer wrapper or postal markings but consisting of two closely written double sheets and complete) signed by Admiral Sir Erasmus Gower during his pioneering voyage to China to escort Earl Macartney to Peking (the Earl was the first English Ambassador to China), the letter includes a detailed and very early description of "the Islands of Tristan da Cunha, which have often been seen but never examined, which honor I meant to have conferred on myself …", the expedition anchored at Tristan, but the proposed thorough investigation was prevented by bad weather, not however before they had done a survey of the place, "… we ascertained that there was a safe Anchorage, good fresh-water, an exact situation of the Islands, that their Inhabitants were Oceanic Birds & fish, and that there were excellent eatable fish at the bottom where the ship lay, there are three of these Islands, named Tristan de Cunha, Inaccessible and Nightingale …", Very Fine.

Tristan da Cunha was first explored by Portuguese and Dutch in the 17th Century and their accounts are preserved in various archives, this is a most important early description of these rarely visited islands and the earliest artifact relating to Tristan in private hands. The remainder of this long letter includes a fascinating outline of visits to the tiny islands of St. Paul and Amsterdam in the south Indian Ocean, and the voyage past the coasts of Sumatra, Cambodia, Formosa and China, the writer took his ship north of Chusan into the Yellow Sea, to which he says that no European had ever been before.
