If you are interested in Naval covers and postmarks, then you may be interested in
the following;
The following was received from Mr. Glenn
Smith and is self explanatory.
I am
a member of the Universal Ship Cancellation Society (USCS), which is an international
organization of 1200+ men and women, founded in 1932, who collect naval covers (postal
pieces cancelled aboard Navy & Coast Guard ships and Marine Corps bases).
We are committed to keeping alive the histories of the fine ships of our Navy,
Marine Corps, & Coast Guard team, and the men & women who serve in
them.
To learn more about our society, please
visit our web site at: www.uscs.org. If anyone wants more information about
collecting naval covers and the USCS, they may contact me directly.
Another web site that might be
interesting to some of your shipmates is the Naval Cover Museum (http://www.navalcovermuseum.org /), which is an on-line
collection of naval covers, and Battleship Wisconsin has its own page
there. Just click on "Enter the New Museum," and then put Wisconsin
in the search block, and it will pop up!
