Modern and Traditional Maritime Vessels - 15 fr
Annual postal issues benefiting naval and maritime social welfare programs (Œuvres Sociales de la Marine) supported former sailors, coast guard personnel, and their families. These semi-postal and airmail issues often celebrated Morocco's rich maritime traditions alongside the modernization of its naval and coastal defenses.
Issued by Morocco (MAROC / المغرب) as an airmail stamp (POSTE AERIENNE), this stamp honors the Naval Social Welfare Works (Œuvres Sociales de la Marine). The vignette illustrates the evolution of sea travel and security off the Moroccan coastline, featuring a traditional two-masted wooden sailing vessel (felucca or dhow) navigating choppy seas in the foreground, set against a modern naval warship and a twin-engine patrol aircraft in flight above.
