This cover was franked for the double 50-centimes uniform French inland postage plus 10-decimes discriminatory sea postage, despite carriage by American Packet. It was carried on the Collins Line steamer Baltic, departing Liverpool Dec. 14, 1850. The mails were unloaded at Provincetown on Dec. 29 and taken to Boston. The cover arrived at New York on Jan. 1. The discriminatory sea postage charge made this route expensive and this example with a strip of three of the 1fr 1849 Issue is rare (Image)
