Yesterday Good Mail tumbler posted an image of a waterlogged envelope that was stamped with the words "damaged by immersion in sea water." The image came from the Wreck & Crash Mail Society who are devoted to the study of delayed or damaged mail and interrupted mail services. The society has published a book, The History of Mail Bombs: A Philatelic & Historical Study, and they produce a quarterly journal called La Catastrophe. Looks like some good of research material for parts of [livejournal.com profile] the_leber_expd, and interesting to boot.
