MS Gripsholm (1925)

There was no postcard showing the route for this cruise but it coincided with the issue of the set of stamps
by Sweden commemorating the 300 h anniversary of the Swedish Post Office. The 60 ore value in the set
1
of stamps shows the Gripsholm. On the day of issue of the stamps, which had been carried on board in
advance, the sea post office had a special cancellation that was used in addition to the cruise hand-stamp.
