Note: Note: VOY 45 means "Voyage 45" The date is Jan. 28 (more clear on other examples), and the year (per research) is 1939. On Jan. 27, 1939 PRES GARFIELD departed New York, went to Havana and then thru Panama Canal to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Honolulu, and other destinations. It appears the purser marked all covers the day after departure. About mid-1940, the name of the ship was changed to PRESIDENT MADISON. During WWII she was briefly USS KENMORE, and then the hospital ship REFUGE.(info added by Lloyd Ferrell, June 2023)
