U.S. 2 cent Washington Perf 10, used 1919 with CHARLOTTE AMALIE SAINT THOMAS, V.I. duplex cancel with killer #1 on picture post card (b/w sunset scene) to Denmark. Appears to be Danish family correspondence; one does not see too much of this type of correspondence after the transfer to U.S. ownership. |

U.S. Scott #859 [1940 1 cent Washington Irving] on 1940 picture post card (Grand Hotel and view of Charlotte Amalie) with U.S. Naval ship cancellation "U.S.S. / HERNDON" with 3 bars and text "ST THOMAS / VIR ILS" between the bars. Genuine personal message from a sailor to family back home, NOT philatelic. The ship was DD-198, a Clemson-class destroyer, commissioned in 1920 and transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS Churchill on September 9, 1940. Herndon served in the United States Coast Guard from 1930-1934 as part of the Rum Patrol. She was recommissioned into the Navy on 4 December 1939. Following trials and shakedown, she reached Guantanamo Bay on 23 January 1940 to join the Caribbean Neutrality Patrol -- this card is from this period. In July-August, she operated out of the Panama Canal Zone on tactical and antisubmarine maneuvers. A different Herndon was commissioned in 1942. |
