    Description
    AUSTRALIA Scott #68 stamp tied by indistinct February 19, (1930) Flinder, Australia cds sent on the SS Comorin to The Editor Illustrated London News, London, England. An overlapping offset stain from a stamp can be seen at the top left of the seal. All of the seams of the cover are tied together with a type 19a seal and in pencil 'rec'd london 4th April 1930 on seal. While there is no marking, based on the dates, it is likely that this cover was recovered from the sinking of the SS Comorin which went down due to an engine fire on March 12, 1930. (King George V Type 19a Crown 1 'Found Open or Damaged and Officially Secured', Rouletted 6 Inscription 'P. 480.', EKU 8/11/1926)

    This cover appeared in the exhibit of the late Jim Kotanchik's Gold Medal award winning exhibit, "Official Seals of Great Britain" The exhibit was probably last shown at Westpex in 2009. It is possible that some of the information contained therein is no longer current. Jim Kotanchik was a highly regarded expert in worldwide seals.
