    Hi, any help to identify these two postcards by Gibson and Son of Penzance and Scilly.
    Nothing to help in the images just the word Transporter and both cards are unused. From a collection of shipwreck postcards of the Cornwall area most of which are identified just the last few im struggling with.
    many thanks

    Hi Mainlypostcards, many thanks youve got that sorted. I did a search with the details on the link and a previous sale on a site called worthpoint had a different Gibson postcard view of the ship. Im most grateful.

    Thanks again
