This is the second of what I hope will be a series of continuing threads each covering a particular Union Castle mailship.

In January 1904, the datestamp of the R.M.S. Armadale Castle was sent for repair, but by the departure date it has not been returned. A temporary postmark was made on board and used only for this voyage. I do not know of any examples on postcards or  covers. In teh attachment is a proof of the postmark.
