Jersey Mail Ships

From the Channel Island of Jersey, a set of stamps from 2010 featuring historic mail-carrying ships. I was surprised at how crisp this letter was when it came out of my mailbox. Barely a crease or scuff on it anywhere. The idea of a mail ship seems like a thing of the past but apparently all mail to and from Jersey goes by boat. It used to be transported by plane but that ended in 2023.
