This commemorative stamp from São Tomé & Príncipe, issued in 1998, depicts the legendary ocean liner RMS Titanic, one of the most famous ships in maritime history. The design shows the Titanic at sea alongside an inset image of the dramatic moment when the ship struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage in 1912. Issued with a 1000 Dobras denomination, the stamp forms part of thematic issues honoring historic ships and maritime events. Its striking artwork and historical subject make it especially appealing to collectors of ship, disaster, and Titanic-themed philately. A distinctive modern commemorative issue from the island nation.
