    Hamburg 1862 (Oct 24): Cover from Talbot, Victoria with despatch datestamp on reverse, mailed to Hamburg carried by the P&O Steamer 'Bombay' to Galle and trans-shipped there to the ill-fated 'Colombo' which ran aground some 500 miles from Galle and the Mails were salvaged. Stamps lost due to immersion in sea-water and the cover struck on arrival in London with framed 'Saved from the wreck of / the Colombo' in black with 'Paid / London' cds below (Jan 2, 1863), thus from the first batch of mail salvaged and carried by the 'Nemesis' to Suez and the 'Massilia' to Southampton. Reverse with Hamburg arrival datestamp in black. One of just 2 Victoria covers saved from the wreck to an address other than the United Kingdom. Illustrated in Palmer on page 99 and discussed on page 100. Rare.
