Abstract: Paquebot is a French word for packet boat, and postal administrations use paquebot hand stamps to mark mail received from a seagoing vessel, that has no, on board post office. The earliest recorded date found in the London GPO records, is the issue of a "PAQUEBOT" hand stamp to Malta on 30 January 1894. In 1930 a circular date stamp was introduced bearing the caption "PAQUEBOT MALTA with Maltese crosses.
