Summary

Description
English: Crash cover of the Russian Empire salvaged from the sunk SS Elbe in 1895. Purple stamp: "Recovered from the mail load of the sunken steamer Elbe", seal on back: "Imperial German Post Office, Bremen 1"
Русский: Письмо из Российской империи через Бремен в Нью-Йорк пароходом "Elbe", затонувшим утром 30 января 1895 г. в проливе Ла-Манш. Несколько мешков с почтой, потерянной с катастрофой парохода "Эльба", были найдены у берегов Англии. Корреспонденция была переправлена в Бремен, где обработана почтовыми служащими, и впоследствии доставлена в Америку другим пароходом.

Письмо имеет исходящий почтовый штемпель 11 января 1895 года, а также:

  • специальный фиолетовый штемпель "Geborgen aus der / Postladung des untergegangenen / Dampfers Elbe. / Postamt 1 Bremen" (из почтового груза погибшего парохода "Эльба");
  • специальный розовый штемпель "Frei! Marke abgefallen. / Paid! Stamp lost." (оплачено, почтовые марки утеряны, т.е. смыты водой).
В качестве облатки расклеившиеся от воды письма почтовые чиновники запечатывали наклейкой "Kaiserl. Deutsches Postamt / Bremen 1". Письмо имеет штемпеля прибытия Нью-Йорка на обороте. Очень редкое письмо, известно всего несколько экз. Интересный объект мировой почтовой истории.
