Yes that correct bear its mail boat collecting the term Paquebot is French ,it was agreed internationally that this term should be used for post mailed on boats ,mail was stamped with words 'paquebot' to this effect.

Google "paquebot markings" and a bunch of entries will pop up for you to read.

Greetings Fellow SB Boarders
.
According to "The Stamp Collector's Encyclopaedia": Paquebot is the French term ( = Packet (mail) boat) used internationally since 1894 on postmarks applied to mail posted on board ship. Paquebot markings are a popular and interesting study.
.
I thought there was a Paquebot thread in Stamp Bears version 1.0.
.
Respectfully,

Gordon Lee
