On the 10th April, 1912 MS Titanic left the port of Southampton with great celebrations and set off on what would turn out to be her maiden and only voyage, when she hit an iceberg on 15th April. With that, the legend began. Our stunning commemorative cover has been carried on the original route from Southampton, and postmarked on the 10th April, the original departure date. It bears an old French stamp cacheted at the first port of call, Cherbourg, and a new Irish stamp cacheted at Queenstown, the last port of call. On the 15th April, when the Memorial Voyage will be directly over the wreck of Titanic, a further cachet will be added. Carried On The Centenary Voyage!This superb collector's item is the ultimate souvenir of Titanic's firsy and final journey. Released to coincide with the 100th anniversary, this beautifully illustraded commemorative envelope contains a genuine 1912 penny, as well as two limited edition centenary stamps postmarked with historic dates and destinations from Titanic's doomed voyage. It will also be carried on the MS Balmoral as part of the memorial mini-voyage, taking place from the 3rd to the 8th!
The Only Titanic Covers You'll NeedEach one of our Titanic covers and stamp sheets has been designed by our award-winning design team, and lovingly hand-crafted by us, and is one of the reasons why Buckingham Covers is synonymous with quality covers and cover collecting. We have also obtained some fantastic signatures, including Billy Zane and Frances Fisher, who both appeared prominently in the 1997 film, Commodore Warwick, David Haisman, author and son of famous survivor Edith Haisman, and Prof. Robert Ballard, who led the expedition which discovered the wreck!

The Titanic CollectionTitanic Cover SetAlthough many nations and people were shocked and touched by the tragedy of Titanic, six in particular will be releasing special commemorative stamps to mark the centenary of the sinking, which Buckingham Covers have featured in a set of six covers.
Jersey
Alderney Each cover will feature a different set of stamps released by each country, consisting of: Canada, Jersey, Alderney, Ireland, Isle of Man, Liverpool
Isle of Man
Liverpool Our Liverpool cover in this set is available as a special limited signed edition, personally signed by Commodore Warwick! Each Liverpool cover (both signed and unsigned) has been carried on board the centenary mini-voyage, which sails from Southampton to Liverpool via Belfast, from where Titanic was first launched a year earlier.
Mint Stamp SheetBuckingham Covers worked with the Titanic Heritage Trust to bring you this official commemorative stamp, printed by Royal Mail. Only 1912 sheets have been issued, making this a highly sought after collectable.
We have worked closely with the Titanic Heritage Trust to create this stamp sheet, which features images of Stuart Williamson's stunning award-winning model of the wreck, and small numbers are available signed by David Haisman, son of Edith Brown (one of the oldest survivors of the Titanic disaster) and trustee of the Titanic Heritage Trust. The stamp sheet comes in a presentation pack, which gives a fascinating account of the ill-fated maiden voyage, as well as the background of the Titanic Heritage Trust and the fantastic work they are doing.
Gibraltar
Gibraltar has also released a special set of stamps to mark the centenary, which we have featured on a limited production run of first day covers. Click the image on the right to find out more!
See the 2012 Titanic Collection! 2011 - Centenary of the LaunchDid you know we celebrated the centenary of the launch of Titanic last year? To coincide with the centenary of the launching of RMS Titanic from the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Buckingham Covers produced a stunning Titanic mint stamp sheet and commemorative medallion cover. Our limited edition medallion cover also comes as a special signed edition, with limited numbers personally signed by Prof. Robert Ballard who discovered the wreck! After signing for us he refused to sign anything else Titanic related, so our covers are one of the few you will find signed by him.
