A distinctive tri-lingual dated  maritime postmark was used at Turku from 1900 to
                       1918.  The Finnish/Swedish/Russian abbreviated inscription translates as 'from
                    abroad.'  It is known in three types with (a) three small stars, (b) a dot and ( c) a large
                        star dividing the languages.  This type of postmark was used only at Turku.
