2 THE HARBOUR POST OFFICE

2.1 THE EXCHANGE OF MAIL WITH OVERSEAS COUNTRIES

On 1 August 1926 the
designated number of the
Harbour Post Office was
changed from 1 to 3. It was

more than one Post Office
the main Post Office should
always be designated number
1. The main Post Office at
the Heveliusplatz, which had
been designated number 3
from 5 January 1925, was at
the same time reclassified as
number 1.
