This neat(but battered), unique, color post card of "La Catedral(Interior) Puebla, Mexico," was sent to Roswell, Georgia, on November 26, 1913! The sender was a sailor serving aboard the U.S.S. Nebraska, a Virginia-class battleship. While the U.S. occupation of Vera Cruz would not begin until April 21, 1914, the "Nebraska," was in the seas around Tampico, Mexico due to the political unrest and insurrections that were already ongoing in the country.

To continue, outside of some toning around quite a number of its perfs, and straight edge, the green, 1-Cent, U.S. "Washington," definitive is in good condition. There is also part of a piece of tape that is still attached to the face of the stamp. It was used to repair the post card. The ship cancel from the U.S.S. Nebraska Post Office is quite good!

Lastly, as for the post card, itself, admittedly, it is in only fair-good shape. It is over 110 years old, though! There are  some minor stains here and there on the back. The edges show some wear and tear. While the images on the front are still quite clear, there are numerous crease and tears in the card, the most serious on being a vertical one down the length of the card. Noted imperfections aside, though, this post card is still a neat piece of U.S. Naval postal history connected to the U.S.S. Nebraska, and a visit that it paid to Tampico, Mexico, in late November 1913, about 5 months before U.S. forces occupied Vera Cruz, Mexico!
