British Columbia postal history. "Fifty ways to lose your cover. A Study of Interrupted Mail at Vancouver BC". Stunning railway "WRECK" mail at Lake Champlain NY 1896. A mouth-watering example for the postal historian, sent from Vancouver BC 1894 and "Recovered from wreck of Canadian Mail Train" from Lake Champlain NY while en-route to Edinburgh, Scotland. The train on the Delaware & Hudson railway, from Montreal to New York, was derailed near the Port Henry Tunnel. The engine remained on the track, but the mail and express car plunged into Lake Champlain. Beautifully written up and mounted on exhibit page from BC Postal Historian Andrew Scott’s award-winning exhibit of mishandled mail which passed through the Vancouver BC Post Office. An exhibit / showpiece item. Estimate =
