For about 15 years I have been collecting world naval warship postcards. I have approximately 2000 postcards. The postcards are mainly pre-1945. The warships are from all over the world, predominantly the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. I also own some postcard views of the more famous warships of the 20th Century such as the Bismarck and Emden. Most of the warships in my collection are from the Pre-Dreadnought era (late 1800s to 1906).




Comment: This is certainly member of top ten postcard sites: it is marked by a. scientific precision of data, 2. perfect layout 3. logical and so instructive structure.
I have been amazed by the richness of the choice and still rigorous adherence to the theme.
No other site, apart from the Maltese Aiibus Captain site on airlines postcards.
I studied several section of this magnificent site and would like to emphasise the balance of the site in general
As deltiologist I would have only one recommendation: adding some information giving more information on a few vintage postcards, if possible, including e g whether it is mint or used, the stamps used, the cancellation stamps, when no considered in conflict with privacy laws (the postcards older than 70 years are in general considered as eligible) quoting the text on the back - or before 1902 (aprox) on the front.
Once again,
