Ship Name and Designation History

This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime. The list is in chronological order.

    Vulcan Class Collier
    Keel Laid October 5 1908 - Launched April 10 1909

  1. USS MARS Collier No. 6
    Commissioned August 26 1909 - Decommissioned July 3 1912
    Recommissioned December 11 1912 - Decommissioned July 15 1913
    Recommissioned May 8 1914

  2. USS MARS AC-6
    Designated (AC) July 17 1920
    Decommissioned December 27 1921

    Struck from Naval Register April 26 1923
    Sold June 22 1923 to John E. Walsh Boston, MA for commercial service

    Ran aground November 8 1924 off Diaquire, Cuba, and abandoned

Naval Covers

This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner). Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date range for covers on that page.

  1. Covers Page 1     (1921)

 

Postmarks

This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set, the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
 
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the existing example.
