We worked officially with Cunard to create this beautiful, limited edition cover. It celebrates the 40th Anniversary of Cunard's best loved cruise ship: QE2.
Each cover was carried on board the QE2's anniversary cruise and stamped with a carried
cachet.
These covers were available to buy on board the anniversary cruise - and they sold over 300 covers on the first morning alone!
You would not believe the panic we had creating this cover! The stamps on them are from our official QE2 Cunard stamp sheet. The sheets only arrived from Royal Mail the day before the voyage so after an emergency stamp sticking session, Tony whizzed up to London to get them postmarked before dashing to Southampton to get them onboard QE2. Phew! Another labour of love from Buckingham Covers!
A small number were signed personally by Commodore Warwick, who was QE2's Captain for 9 years before he became Master of Queen Mary 2. Funnily enough, Warwick's father was also Master of the QE2 for her maiden voyages!
If you like this, you will also love our official Cunard QE2 stamp sheet.
