Stories in Stamps by I S Klein and Quebec Citadel
A survey of Quebec atop the St Lawrence headland recalls Champlain and 1759 valor, notes the 1823 citadel rebuild, and mentions a 1930 stamp. It contrasts modern liners like Mauretania Normandy Queen Mary with historical feats and a Sea apart dream sequence.
