Description
DNIEPER BUG Estuaries: 1915 Cover to Commander of Steamship “ELBRUS” at Nikolaev, Kherson, at the head of the Bug estuary, franked 1914-15 War Charity set of 4 tied individually by violet circular seal-type cachets reading around Imperial Eagle and crossed anchors: STEAMSHIP “APSHERON” A further strike on reverse with Nikolaev arrival dated 9 7 15. The 1912 register of the Russian Merchant Fleet lists the “ELBRUS* as belonging to the R.O.P.i.T. Company. The “Apsheron” is not mentioned, but use of the Imperial Eagle in her cachet suggests that she too was part of the R.O.P.i.T.fleet, possibly a wartime auxillary vessel.
