The product is a 1916 cover featuring a 3 centavo stamp from Mexico, with an additional 2 centavo stamp from the Mexican Revolution, posted on board a ship from Tampico to New York via Havana, Cuba November 23, 1916. It was cancelled on arrival in NY with the Paquebot cancel.

Mail deposited on board a ship at sea was delivered to the ship's postal officer (or purser). Upon docking at the first port of call or destination in the U.S., the mailbag was delivered to the U.S. land post office. Cancellation: To validate the postage and certify that the letter arrived on board, the port post office applied the "PAQUEBOT" mark along with the local date stamp of the U.S. city of arrival.
