Post office of the Netherlands Shipping Lines

As every postal service the Dutch Post office has a long history. Though the title changed several times in recent years for a long period the official name was Staatsbedrijf der Posterijen, Telefonie en Telegrafie. As in a lot of countries the activities were separated and privatized. Originally mail was carried to countries all over the world by Dutch shipping lines. Each line had its own postal service flag. An official Dutch flag for the mail service was never implemented. The telephone department of the agency owned a vessel to provide and maintain telephone cables. From 1948 until 1968 the cable vessel Poolster was used for this purpose. In 1968 a new vessel was built the 'Directeur-generaal Bast'. The service had a special flag and also a funnel mark.
