Issued by St. Lucia in 1976, this commemorative stamp marks the Bicentennial of the American Revolution (1776–1976) as part of the Ships of the Revolutionary Period series.
The design features the early American war vessel “The Hanna,” regarded as one of the first armed ships associated with the nascent Continental Navy.
Rendered in rich sunset tones, the stamp highlights classic 18th-century sailing ship rigging and naval architecture.
This issue reflects Caribbean participation in a globally significant historical anniversary.
A desirable thematic item for collectors of naval history, American Revolution, and ship-themed philately.
