The Cyprus Sea Post Office 1906-1932

The Cyprus Sea Post Office (SPO) was a travelling sorting office operating from roughly 1906 to 1932

These small, ship-based offices processed mail for Cyprus district towns while at sea, using special cancellations . A notable handstamp was famously lost when the S.S. Kosseir sank in 1918 

The Cyprus Sea Post Office was created as part of an effort to improve the communications with the Island, and what started as an experiment served Cyprus well
