Trinidad & Tobago

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is situated in the West Indies.  It consists of the small island of Tobago and the larger island of Trinidad.  It is the most southerly country of the West indies, lying only 11km north of the coast of Venezuela.  From 1802 the country was a colony of Great Britain achieving independence in 1962 and becoming a republic in 1976.  Its capital, Port of Spain, is situated on the island of Trinidad.

The first stamps of Trinidad and Tobago were the famous Lady McLeod stamps of 1847.  The Lady McLeod was a paddle steamer which travelled between Port of Spain and San Fernando on Trinidad from 1845 until 1854.  The private local post began at the same time as the ship started on this route, in November 1845.  The stamps issued were cancelled either with a cross drawn by hand, or by ripping off a corner of the stamp.  After 1851, the British colony issued its own stamps.  Until 1913, the two islands had separate postal administrations.  Since then the stamps were issued in the name of Trinidad and Tobago.
