Philatelic Society of Lancaster County: 1931 Ill-Fated Expedition to the North Pole

Mike Bach’s presentation for the Philatelic Society of Lancaster County revolves around a postcard with two addresses and stamps from two countries with a cachet of a submarine at the North Pole. Mike tells the story of an ill-fated journey by submarine Nautilus that was conceived by two adventurers, Hubert Wilkins, an Australian, and Lincoln Ellsworth, an American who we all should know but we don’t.

You will know a little more about these characters after Mike’s presentation – maybe more than you want to. Take a journey to the North Pole with Wilkins and Ellsworth as told by the postal artifacts they left behind.
