HMS Montagu was a Duncan-class pre-dreadnought battleship of the British Royal Navy. In May 1906 in thick fog, she was wrecked on Lundy Island, fortunately without loss of life. Although she would soon have been obsolescent if she had not been wrecked, this loss of one of its newest battleships was a blow to the Royal Navy, then in the early stages of the naval arms race with Germany.

HMS Montagu was laid down at Devonport Dockyard on 23 November 1899, and launched on 5 March 1901, when she was christened by Lady Charles Scott, wife of Lord Charles Scott, Commander-in-Chief, Plymouth. She began trials in February 1903.
Montagu and her five sisters of the Duncan class were ordered in response to large French and Russian building programmes, including an emphasis on fast battleships in the Russian programmes; Montagu and her sisters were designed as smaller, more lightly armoured, and faster versions of the preceding Formidable class. As it turned out, the Russian ships were not as heavily armed as initially feared, and the Montagu and the other Duncans proved to be quite superior in their balance of speed, firepower, and protection.

Montagu had an armour layout similar to that of the preceding London subclass of the Formidable class, with reduced thickness in the barbettes and belt.
Montagu and her sisters had machinery of 3,000 indicated horsepower (2,200 kW) more than the Formidables and Londons and were the first British battleships with 4-cylinder triple-expansion engines. They also had a modified hull form to improve speed. The Duncans had a reputation as good steamers, with a designed speed of 19 knots (35 km/h; 22 mph) and an operational speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph), good steering at all speeds, and an easy roll. They were the fastest battleships in the Royal Navy when completed, and the fastest pre-dreadnoughts ever built other than the Swiftsure-class HMS Swiftsure and HMS Triumph.
Montagu and her sister ships had the same armament as and a smaller displacement than the Formidables and Londons.
As a pre-dreadnought, Montagu would have been outclassed by the dreadnought battleships that began to appear at the end of 1906, but she was lost that year, several months before HMS Dreadnought´s commissioning ushered in the new battleship era.

Payment Terms

Due to an increasing number of none payers you are required to contact me and make payment within SEVEN days of the sale end, failure for whatever reason means the sale will be canceled and appropriate feedback left in order for me to obtain a refund of the selling fees, usually a negative rating.

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND YOU CANNOT DICTATE WHETHER TO ACCEPT INSURED POSTAGE WHEN USING PAYPAL UNLESS YOU USE A BANK TRANSFER (and you pay all the fees), UK CHEQUE OR CASH (at your risk). NO EXCEPTIONS. And no I do not want to hear how other sellers do it.........or how you do it.
You should be aware if a sale is cancelled Delcampe require the seller to leave the buyer at least a '0' in order for the seller to claim back fees. That's a NEGATIVE. I ALWAYS do so. I also vigorously defend against ANY and ALL retalitory feedback in those cases.

VOUS DEVEZ COMPRENDRE QUE VOUS NE POUVEZ PAS DICTATER SI VOUS ACCEPTEZ L'ENVOI ASSURÉ LORS DE L'UTILISATION DE PAYPAL SAUF SI VOUS UTILISEZ UN TRANSFERT DE BANQUE (et que vous payez tous les frais), par chèque britannique ou à la caisse (à vos risques). AUCUNE EXCEPTION. Et non, je ne veux pas entendre comment les autres vendeurs le font ... ou comment vous le faites.
Vous devez savoir que si une vente est annulée Delcampe oblige le vendeur à laisser l'acheteur au moins un 0 pour lui permettre de réclamer les frais de retour. C'est un négatif. Je le fais TOUJOURS. Je me défends aussi vigoureusement contre TOUTES les réactions de représailles dans ces cas.

DEBE ENTENDER QUE NO SE PUEDE DICTAR SI ACEPTAR EL FRANQUEO ASEGURADO AL EL USO DE PAYPAL A MENOS QUE UTILICE UNA TRANSFERENCIA BANCARIA (y usted paga todas las tarifas), UK CHECK O CASH (a su riesgo). SIN EXCEPCIONES. Y no, no quiero escuchar cómo lo hacen otros vendedores ... ni cómo lo haces.
Debe tener en cuenta que si se cancela una venta, Delcampe requiere que el vendedor deje al comprador al menos un "0" para que el vendedor pueda reclamar cargos de devolución. Eso es un NEGATIVO. SIEMPRE lo hago. También me defiendo vigorosamente contra CUALQUIERA y TODA la retroalimentación retroalimentaria en esos casos.

SIE MÜSSEN VERSICHERN, DASS SIE VERSICHERTES PORTO NICHT AKZEPTIEREN KÖNNEN, WENN SIE PAYPAL BENUTZEN, AUSSER SIE BENUTZEN EINE BANKÜBERWEISUNG (und Sie zahlen alle Gebühren), UK-SCHECK ODER BARGELD (auf Ihr Risiko). KEINE AUSNAHMEN. Und nein, ich möchte nicht hören, wie andere Verkäufer es tun ......... oder wie Sie es tun.
Wenn ein Verkauf storniert wird, sollten Sie sich darüber im Klaren sein, dass Delcampe vom Verkäufer verlangt, dass er dem Käufer mindestens eine '0' zurückgibt, damit der Verkäufer Gebühren zurückfordern kann. Das ist ein Negatives. Das tue ich IMMER. Ich verteidige mich auch in diesen Fällen energisch gegen JEDES und ALLES mögliche Rückkopplungsfeedback.

In the UK you can pay by Paypal, Cash (sent at your risk) or Cheque. Let me know as soon as you win/buy if you would like to pay using a bank transfer.

In the USA, Canada or Europe (Eu) you can pay by Paypal (Sterling only please) or cash sent at your risk

All other countries please contact me for shipping and payment details before bidding.

Specific conditions:

I always attempt shipping the day you pay-if early in the morning or the previous evening. Sometimes I can get to the Post Office on Saturdays but they are not a regular shipping day. Sunday is out of the question. I reserve the right to ship within 3 working days in case of unforeseen delays. Please understand time zones and the fact that I DO NOT work all night, 9pm or 10pm is the absolute latest GMT. Sending multiple invoice requests will slow your item as every repeat e-mail sends the order back to the bottom of the list and will delay processing. If you have any issues with anything by all means let me know and I'll BE MORE THAN HAPPY to attempt to resolve the problem! If you are rude you will be ignored.

Please read the description and examine the photos carefully. I also encourage you to ask any questions you have during the auction to help clarify identification or condition, as I may inadvertently omit information that you feel is important.

Ich versuche immer, den Tag, an dem Sie bezahlen, zu versenden - ob am frühen Morgen oder am Vorabend. Manchmal kann ich samstags zur Post, aber es ist kein normaler Versandtag. Der Sonntag steht außer Frage. Ich behalte mir das Recht vor, bei unvorhergesehenen Verzögerungen innerhalb von 3 Werktagen zu versenden. Bitte haben Sie Verständnis für die Zeitzonen und die Tatsache, dass ich NICHT die ganze Nacht, 21 Uhr oder 22 Uhr, arbeite, ist der letzte GMT. Durch das Senden mehrerer Rechnungsanforderungen wird Ihr Artikel verlangsamt, da jede wiederholte E-Mail die Bestellung an das Ende der Liste zurückschickt und die Verarbeitung verzögert. Wenn Sie irgendwelche Probleme haben, lassen Sie es mich wissen und ich werde mehr als glücklich sein, um das Problem zu lösen! Wenn Sie unhöflich sind, werden Sie ignoriert.

Bitte lesen Sie die Beschreibung und prüfen Sie die Fotos sorgfältig. Ich möchte Sie außerdem dazu auffordern, Fragen zu stellen, die Sie während der Auktion haben, um die Identifizierung oder den Zustand zu klären, da ich versehentlich Informationen ausspreche, die Sie für wichtig erachten.

J'essaie toujours d'expédier le jour où vous payez, que ce soit tôt le matin ou le soir précédent. Parfois, je peux me rendre au bureau de poste le samedi, mais ce n’est pas un jour d’expédition régulier. Le dimanche est hors de question. Je me réserve le droit d'expédier dans les 3 jours ouvrables en cas de retard imprévu. S'il vous plaît comprendre les fuseaux horaires et le fait que je ne travaille pas toute la nuit, 21 heures ou 22 heures est la dernière heure absolue. L'envoi de plusieurs demandes de facture ralentira votre article car chaque e-mail répété renvoie la commande au bas de la liste et retardera le traitement. Si vous avez des problèmes avec quoi que ce soit avec tout moyen, faites le moi savoir et je serai plus heureux que d'essayer de résoudre le problème! Si vous êtes impoli, vous serez ignoré.

S'il vous plaît lire la description et examiner les photos attentivement. Je vous encourage également à poser toutes les questions que vous avez pendant l'enchère pour aider à clarifier l'identification ou la condition, car je peux par inadvertance omettre des informations que vous jugez importantes.

Siempre trato de enviar el día que pagas, si es temprano en la mañana o la tarde anterior. Algunas veces puedo llegar a la oficina de correos los sábados, pero no son un día de envío regular. El domingo está fuera de discusión. Me reservo el derecho de enviar dentro de los 3 días hábiles en caso de retrasos imprevistos. Por favor, comprenda las zonas horarias y el hecho de que NO trabajo toda la noche, 9 pm o 10 pm es el último GMT absoluto. El envío de múltiples solicitudes de facturas reducirá la velocidad de su artículo, ya que cada correo electrónico repetido envía el pedido al final de la lista y demora el procesamiento. Si tiene algún problema con cualquier cosa, hágamelo saber y ¡SERÉ MÁS QUE FELIZ para intentar resolver el problema! Si eres grosero serás ignorado.

Por favor, lea la descripción y examine las fotos cuidadosamente. También lo aliento a que haga cualquier pregunta que tenga durante la subasta para ayudar a aclarar la identificación o la condición, ya que puedo omitir inadvertidamente la información que considere importante.

I specialize in the sale of Lundy Island Stamps and have one of the largest collections at discount prices.

Please note the pictures used on this site are not to scale and are produced in this format as a guide to the item only. None of your stamps will have faults or flaws as may be seen on some of these sample pictures, unless they are sold as such.

Here is a brief history of the exciting Lundy Puffin Postage Stamps. The earliest date recorded for the opening of the Lundy Island Post Office is 3^rd March 1887, though it is unlikely that it did in fact operate until 1892, when the GPO laid a cable from Croyde in North Devon across the Bristol Channel to Lundy island and built a stone cable hut where the cable terminated-against the east wall of the keep of Marisco Castle. The cable hut became known as the Post Office, which contained a table and counter, pigeonholes for sorting letters, a stationery cabinet, as well as two bunks and a cooking stove. The latter used by linemen sent from the mainland to lay and service the cables connected to the island’s two lighthouses, there to warn Bristol Channel shipping, which subsequently came into service in 1896. Still a long way yet to the now familiar Lundy Postage Stamps!

From 1912 to about 1915 there was a twice-weekly mail service using British not Lundy Postage Stamps to Lundy Island, one from Instow North Devon and one from Bristol operated by SS Devonia. During the First World War the service was either from Milford Haven or from Ilfracombe North Devon. In 1912 the renowned MV Lerina entered service, carrying mail between Instow North Devon and the island in the Bristol Channel, culminating in October 1925 when M C Harman acquired not only Lundy Island but also the mail-carrying contract together with MV Lerina.

The first Sub Postmaster appointed, Mr F Allday, held the post for over 30 years, until he left in 1926, being succeeded by M C Harman’s next appointee, Mr H Lang who held the Post Office for only about 1 year before leaving. M C Harman’s head gardener, Mr W Mien, then took over the Post Office but he too only held the job for a few months before leaving Lundy. As no successor could be found from the islands population, M C Harman requested the Postmaster General to close the Post Office and the GPO ceased to have any interest in the Bristol Channel island after the end of 1927.

It is interesting to recall that the various sub-post Masters were allowed by the GPO to hire a donkey to carry the mails from the island’s landing beach to the Post Office and down again.

For 2 years M C Harman continued to carry, free of charge, mail to and from the North Devon mainland on MV Lerina, the mail being transported in sealed mail bags to and from the sub Post Office at Instow North Devon by Captain W Dark, skipper of MV Lerina. Responsibility for distributing incoming mail and despatching outgoing mail on Lundy was in the hands of the late, renowned, Mr F W Gade who had arrived in 1926 on a three month trial, as M C Harman’s resident agent, a position to be retained except for a short break until Mr F W Gade retired in 1971.

In 1929 M C Harman decided that he could no longer afford the free mail service, and to defray his costs he conceived the idea of issuing special Lundy Stamps, better known as Puffin Stamps for fixing to incoming and outgoing mail. He choose, for the new Lundy Postage Stamps the Puffin as his Puffin Stamps unit of currency for Lundy Stamps, being equivalent of the British penny, and on the 1^st Nov. 1929 the first Stamps of Lundy Island were issued, the Puffin Stamps half Puffin Pink and the Puffin Stamps 1 Puffin Blue. Half a million of each value were printed by Bradbury Wilkinson and Co Ltd who also printed the additional 6 Puffin, 9 Puffin and 12 Puffin values introduced on the 9^th July 1930. The bird has appeared consistently on most Lundy Stamps issues since then. Thus commenced the issue of a long series of Lundy Stamps, which form the bulk of my stock.
