‘S S KYPROS’ 1966. The Cypriot S S Kypros was approaching Haifa
harbour on 10 November 1966 when a fire broke out on board. All the
passengers and crew were safely brought ashore but the fire became
so intense that the ship was towed out of the harbour and beached.
There was a small amount of recovered mail which received a boxed
cachet in Hebrew which translates to ‘This item was damaged / on
the ship Kypros which / caught fire on 10/11/66’. A scarce cover
from this incident. ‘
