Lundy Island MS Oldenburg 4p Local Stamp

United Kingdom · 1979 · 4p

This 1979 local stamp from Lundy Island features the MS Oldenburg, the ferry that serves the island. The design depicts the ship at sea, with 'LUNDY ISLAND' and the 4p denomination clearly visible.

Lundy Island has issued its own local stamps since 1929 to facilitate mail transport from the island to the mainland, as the Royal Mail did not provide direct service. The MS Oldenburg has been a vital link for the island's residents and visitors.
