Description
Pitcairn Island One of the real bases of the Pitcairn economy is the postal service. Even with only 50 residents, the primary link to the rest of the world is still by means of letters and parcels going to and from the rest of the world.
In addition, the remoteness of Pitcairn has always been a draw for stamp collectors the world over. Since the first letter was sent from Pitcairn aboard the HMS Seringapatam on 17 March 1830, until 1926, mail was simply marked "Posted on Pitcairn Island. No Stamps Available." Then for 14 years, New Zealand stamps were used until 15 October 1940 when the first true Pitcairn Island stamps were issued. Stamps, covers, and original letters have all become prized collectors items.
