MARITIME DISASTER MAIL


by Norman Hoggarth and Robin Gwynn


This book has been sold out by the Stuart Rossiter Trust. Copies may still be available from our retail outlets. Leading retailers are Vera Trinder, in the UK, Vera Trinder ; Leonard Hartman in the USA, Leonard Hartman Philatelic Books

The book is based on the personal research of the two authors in Lloyd's records, newspapers, the Post Office Archives and other reference facilities at home and abroad. It significantly updates the standard works on the subject, recording many new discoveries. This is particularly evident in the two wartime periods.



The book following the introduction is divided into seven chapters, with an appendix for seized mail. This book should be of considerable appeal to anyone interested in wreck mail, with the comprehensive index a great help to all, including collectors of related subjects
