Northern Postal History. A trio of better items, each with a connection to mail of the Canadian North. The first cover, posted from Chesterfield Inlet on August 10th 1939 with a cachet for the "Annual Arctic Expedition / Eastern Arctic Mail / Per R.M.S Nascopie." The second cover, carried aboard the Canadian Icebreaker C.G.S. John A. Macdonald and posted at Eureka NWT in 1961. The third cover (and of particular interest) is sent from Ivigtut Greenland, an abandoned mining town near Cape Desolation May 10th, 1941. This last cover was sent during period of WWII when the Canadian supply ship RMS Nascopie carried the mail from this Greenland community which was then CENSORED in Canada before being sent onto its final destination (in this case, Ohio USA).
