1 in stock
This 1970 French commemorative stamp celebrates Alain Gerbault (1893–1941), the famed French sailor, tennis champion, and adventurer. It honors his solo circumnavigation of the globe from 1923 to 1929 aboard his yacht Firecrest — one of the earliest single-handed world voyages.
The design, rendered in rich blue tones, depicts Gerbault’s sailboat navigating tropical seas with small island atolls in the distance, evoking his long Pacific crossings. At the upper right appears a fine line portrait of Gerbault himself, paying tribute to his pioneering spirit and literary legacy as author of “The Fight of the Firecrest.”
Issued by the République Française, this 0.70 franc stamp combines themes of maritime adventure and French exploration, making it a highly regarded issue among collectors of nautical and explorer-related philately.
