This is the second type of postmark that appears to have been used on board the 'Yomesite' while at San Luis d'Apra Harbor. The type 1.6 postmark is recorded as last used on July 11. The type 1.7 starting use on July 15 most likely as a replacement for cancelling mail that originated on board the 'Yomesite'.
