Ship History

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

    Dutch Merchant Vessel
    Built 1934

  1. JAGERSFONTEIN (Commercial Service)
  2. Operated by Holland Africa Line

    SUNK (Torpedoes) June 26 1942 by German U-107 off Bermuda

    From a blog post by Eric T. Wiberg:
    "According to the Port Director’s Report for Honolulu Hawaii, the JAGERSFONTEIN arrived in that port
    at 09:30 am on the 7th of December, 1941 – right in the middle of the attack on Pearl Harbor nearby…."
    During World War II the JAGERSFONTEIN was armed with a 105 millimeter gun mounted on the stern.

 

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     (1940)

 

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.
