ROYAL Mail is looking for the veterans and descendants of the crew that sailed aboard Merchant Navy ships over the past 200 years.
The search anticipates the release of a new series of limited-edition Merchant Navy stamps, which will go on sale in September.
Hull Merchant Navy veterans, or families whose ancestors served on the Merchant Navy's most famous ships, are invited to share their stories and to celebrate the heritage of Britain's civilian seafarers.
Some 35,000 British Merchant Navy sailors were killed during the Second World War – many of whom were from Hull – with thousands of vessels lost.
