Post offices were established on board ships of the "Great White Fleet" in 1908, and there are still post offices aboard most ships today. A group of specialized cover collectors carry on a tradition of obtaining postmarks and other artifacts of postal history from U.S. and foreign Naval and Coast Guard vessels.

The best resource for learning more about this hobby is the web page of the Universal Ship Cancellation Society.
