Eastern Arctic Mail. Mail carried by the SS Beothic, sent from Ponds Inlet Baffin Island on September 12th 1931 to Oakland, California via North Sydney NS. The delivery and pick up of mail in the Eastern Arctic was a difficult venture before advent of airmail to the region. Mail was carried and picked up by government official expeditions (the Eastern Arctic Patrols) which made only one trip per year. In 1931, the SS Beothic was the ship used by the Eastern Arctic Patrol. A scarce item, neatly displayed on exhibit / Northern Canada Study Group advertising page. Stay tuned for additional Eastern Arctic mail in next month’s auction. Estimate =
