Buried House, Sandy Banks, Bermuda

Notes: One of two postcards sent by Grace (Lyon) Hallworth from Hamilton, Bermuda. Neither card has a clearly legible postmark, hence some additional information has been used to help date both cards. The stamp helps to narrow down the time period. This stamp is listed as SG 77 in the Stanley Gibbons catalogue; Sc82 in the Scott catalogue. This series was printed between 1910-1925. The “No. 54” following the publisher's address is probably a postal code rather than one associated with the archive of images held by the publishers. The number on the face of the card – B11043 – is the latter sort. It is not clear why Grace would write to Jennie at West 8th St. in Nantucket. She may have mixed up Jennie’s address with someone else. Grace got the address right on the previous card she sent from Bermuda. The most suggestive evidence for the dating is a manifest list from the S.S. Arcadian, departing from Bermuda on March 12, 1912. Both Grace and her husband, Frederick Hallworth, were aboard.
