A maximum card from last year of Danzig as a Free State Date of postmark : 30.1.39 The illustrations show the Hanseatic Kogge " Peter van Danzig " Please can someone let me know what is written on upper part of the circle ? A word ending with ... POST ?

@ March [#1] Hi March, There is written ZOPPOT, the name of the city/village. Zoppot is a small sea side resort on the Baltic Sea and was part of the "Freie Reichsstadt Danzig" region. Today it has the Polish name Sopot. Cheers, Peter

Excellent ! Thank you very much Peter. :) As far as I remember years ago there was an international music festival in Sopot.

Hi March, as Peter said, it reads ZOPPOT. I enlarged it, so you can see it better. Nice Card. Greetings from Canada, Chuck (Sorry, the picture would not do it's thing)

Thanks Chuck ! And what is important for my Ships' collection , at the date of postmark ZOPPOT was a small port of call for the ships of shipping line : " The sea service East Prussia" ( see below the chart) http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=de&to=en&a=http%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDatei%3ASeedienst_Ostpreu%25C3%259Fen.JPG
