The St. Thomas Harbor issue of 1905 consisted of 1, 2, and 5 france stamps, depicting the cruiser Ingolf in the harbor at Charlotte Amalie. These stamps were issued just after the lower value issue honoring the 40th anniversary of the reign of Christian IX. They were intended primarily for parcels, so that covers are uncommon.
