On the Stamp

INS Tarangini under full sail on the open sea.

INS Tarangini

India Post issued this ₹5 stamp, in a miniature sheet, on 25 April 2004, the last day of INS Tarangini’s voyage round the world. A three-masted barque built in Goa to a design by Colin Mudie and commissioned in 1997, she is a sail training ship for the officer cadets of the Indian Navy. Her voyage, from 23 January 2003 to 25 April 2004, made her the first Indian naval ship to circumnavigate the globe; the sheet gives its theme as “Friendship Across the Oceans”. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp and its sheet.
