Tristan da Cunha Postcards of Ships by Edwards

Edwards Postcards Page 2 - Td.C

The Revd. Father M.N.W.Edwards produces postcards in four series:-
1: Liners to South Africa - Serial Nos. Br.S
2: Ferries - Serial Nos. Br.F - to be added later
3: Ships that have visited Tristan da Cunha - Serial Nos. Td.C (this page)
4: Ships that have visited Antarctica - Serial Nos. Pole (this page)

I have added a selection of the less obscure subjects below. Many earlier cards are now sold out, since they are printed in editions of only 500 or 250. All cards are individually hand numbered, which is unique as far as I am aware for ship postcards.

This page shows the Td.C and Pole series (most Pole series cards are also in the Td.C series). The Td.C series includes some well-known cruise ships, but also some very obscure vessels which make very unlikely postcard subjects. It also includes some unusual warship subjects, modern warship cards being quite rare. Photographer's names are shown (in brackets).

These postcards are no longer available for sale. Copies may be available for exchange by prior arrangement - please email: simplon@simplon.co.uk
