ISRAEL MARITIME LEAGUE 1946 COMMEMORATIVE SHEET – 48 STAMPS

A remarkable full sheet of 48 stamps issued by the Israel Maritime League, featuring a central imprint dated 27 May 1946. The text emphasizes the League’s mission: “THE LEAGUE AIMS TO FURTHER ALL JEWISH MARITIME ACTIVITIES IN ERETZ-ISRAEL” and includes contact details for the Cape Town Committee and the Head Office in Tel Aviv, then part of Palestine.

Addressed to Jewish youth, the message invites boys and girls to explore the rich maritime history and traditions of the Jewish people—interrupted but now being revived in Eretz-Israel. It encourages engagement with sea cadets, fishermen, shipping companies, and aquatic sports, reflecting the League’s dedication to promoting maritime activities in the Jewish homeland.
