Falkland Islands: Early Letters: 1827 Ship's Letter, outer lettersheet from Captain John Upham, endorsed from ''Berkleys Sound 28 Jan 1827/John Upham'' where Port Louis had been established, sent six years before Britain reassumed sovereignty despatched in the care of Captain Lowe of the brigantine ''Adeona'' registered at Greenock and engaged in sealing. The letter addressed to the shipowners ''Messrs. Thos. Dobrée/Nantes France'' with framed ''DEAL/SHIP LETTER'' , red straight line ''ANGLETERRE'' and backstamped circular ''4/AOU/1227'' (sic). The letter held at the Returned Letter Office in London awaiting payment with reference number added at upper left. Manuscript rating marks of, firstly ship letter rate ''1/4'', being 8d. to England and a further 8d. for the 74 mile journey from Deal to London, a further 1s. added for transmission to France, a total of ''2/4'' with ''17'' (décimes) noted as postage due. Captain Lowe later receives mention in the H.M.S. ''Beagle'' Diary of Charles Darwin recorded on his 1833 visit to the islands. ''On Friday a sealing vessel arrived commanded by Capt. Lowe; a notorious & singular man, who has frequented these seas for many years & been the terror to all small vessels. — It is commonly said, that a Sealer, Slaver & Pirate are all of a trade; they all certainly require bold energetic men; & amongst Sealers there are frequently engagements for the best "rookerys". & in these affrays Capt Lowe has gained his celebrity. — In their manners habits &c I should think these men strikingly resembled the old Buccaneers.'' (March 24th 1833)The joint second earliest known postal item from the Falkland Islands together with the letter from the French surgeon on Upham's vessel, L. Gautier, written from Port Louis on the same date, also to Nantes and mentioning Dobrée in its contents. An important item of the greatest rarity. Ex Barnes. Photo.
