956 USAT DORCHESTER SINKING ATLANTIC Four Chaplains Image Cachet Flag First Day

Description: USAT DORCHESTER Memorial troop ship memorial first day cover with a postmark from Freedom, Maine on April 10, 2023. Black and green stamp design cachet #3401 of the sinking of this ill-fated ship by Alvin Eckert USCS #9964. The ship was sunk by enemy submarine U-223 on Feb 3, 1943 while she was part of a convoy heading for a base on Greenland. The Four Chaplains aboard shared their life vests with passengers and then went down with the vessel into the frigid water. The art work on the stamp design is quite excellent and portrays the danger and heroism shown on North Atlantic convoy voyages. Cover prepared on a 63 cent flag stamp # 5788 (FDOI) and the 3 cent Four Chaplains stamp # 956. The enemy submarine was later destroyed by Allied ships. Seller also has a Greenland map cover for the tragic USAT Dorchester WW II sinking. Also see the "Disasters, sinking and fires" category on this e-bay site "NavyCovers" Check out my other items!
