It's astonishing how many foreign countries, at some point in the postal history, have done a series on the American Revolution. How many stamps has the U.S. issued to commemorate Madagascar's independence from France in 1960? I think zero is a safe bet, though I haven't taken the time to check. 
Now there's a handsome fella! I'm gonna make sideburns like these my new summer project.
The little tugboat in this stamp, roughly the size of a pin head, is probably the smallest boat in my stamp collection.
Greece really surprised me with their strong showing against Nigeria in their World Cup match yesterday. So in honor of their performance Greece has earned a bonus day on 365 Boats.
Today's boat comes from a great series of pirate themed Haitian stamps. 
Today the United States plays England in their first match of the 2010 World Cup. Naturally I thought it appropriate to find a boat stamp featuring the home team stickin' it to the British. And no, this stamp does not reflect my current politics.
The Cook Islands natives cheerfully greet their old buddies, the British. I'm sure this ends well. I wonder what wikipedia has to say about this meeting?...
This is one of my all time favorite boat stamps. In fact, it's part of a four stamp series, each of which is fantastic.
I can't even tell you how many emails have flooded into 365 Boats asking: When are we going to Brunei? Well, our long wait is over—we have arrived. Brunei gets my vote for the best official name. Brunei's complete name is: Nation of Brunei, the Abode of Peace. Wishful thinking most likely, but still nice.
For such a tiny place the Pitcairn Islands have an impressive postal catalogue. As of 2008 the official population of Pitcairn was only 50. 50! Pitcairn is the least populated and most remote jurisdiction in the world. There are plenty more fun facts about Pitcairn, but I think we'll save them for a future visit.
