Eastern Arctic Mail. A duo of better covers carried aboard the HBC Steamship SS Nascopie (Eastern Arctic Mai). The first is REGISTERED cover from Pond’s Inlet Baffin Island, sent September 4th 1936 via Eastern Arctic Mails RMS Nascopie Ship to Toowong, Queensland Australia. Note that this cover truly saw the whole country, sent via Halifax NS and Vancouver BC before being sent on a steamship for Australia (likely CPR). The second cover, posted exactly 3 years earlier (Sept 4th 1933) from Craig Harbour NWT via the SS Nascopie to Reading, Pennsylvania (via St.Johns NFLD). Note, this was the first day of Post Office operation at Craig Harbour since 1926! Both covers are neatly (and accurately) written up on exhibit pages. A must have for the postal historian.
