A postcard of the S.S Braemar Castle, 17, 029 tons, of the Union Castle line which ran between the UK and South & East Africa, as posted on June 20th, 1965.  The card is in b & w, which is a pity because these ships had lavender coloured hulls - a coloured pic would have been splendid. (and yes, I did my time afloat, which is how I know about the hull colour!).  On the route from 1952 until 1966, and able to manage 17.5 knots on a good day, the vessel was primarily a mail-carrying ship in the days before much faster air travel took over.  Shuffleboard or fancy dress, anyone?

Printed on poor quality material (all these cards were!) he card is just very slightly marked at edges - but it is quite old, after all!

I'm having a clearout and new to Ebay, so please bear with me if I get anything wrong: the card(s) were copied on a scanner so the edges may not be quite as crisp as they appear 'on screen', and the card(s) will possibly be showing some signs of wear after all this time.  

Any questions do please ask, but please note that I only check my mail once a day (poor old eyes!) so do be patient.

Posted in a card-backed envelope (up to six cards) within the UK mainland, please enquire about the postage to offshore islands.  I'll get a cost for postage to Europe and list it.  The Rest of the World postage: guess that you will have to ask me, and I'll quote for Economy Mail (think that's 12 weeks).  Alternatively, collect in person by appointment from Liskeard in Cornwall, UK (approx. 25 miles from Plymouth).

Combined postage if you purchase more than one item. 

I have lots of cards to list (mainly topography), so please ask if you are seeking something particular.
