Enhanced enjoyment comes from seeking to solve the mysteries behind items like this *  At the Vienna conference in 1891, the Universal Postal Union established special handling regulations for mail posted on the high seas aboard ocean-going vessels. Mail posted at sea is generally held by the ship's purser or postal officer, if it has one, until the next port with postal facilities is reached. When the ship reaches the next port, the purser or postal officer delivers all mail received during the voyage to the post office serving the port. The mail is then marked "Paquebot" or the equivalent and is postmarked by the post office and entered into the mailstream for delivery. Covers and cards mailed at sea are generally referred to as "paquebot" covers. "Paquebot" is French for "packet boat," and postal administrations use paquebot handstamps to mark mail received from a seagoing vessel that has no on-board post office. In addition to "M/S" for motor ship, other types of vessel designations used in ship's handstamps are "M/V" for motor vessel, "S/S" for steamship, "S/T" for steam tanker or steam turbine, "M/T" for motor tanker, "M/F" for motor ferry, "S/V" for sailing vessel and "TES" for turbo electric ship. Paquebot covers often present a mystery or two.  Selected Source: linns.com/news/postal-updates-page/paquebot-mail-begins-at-sea--postmarked-on-land.html
