Lady McLeod
The ''Lady McLeod'' was a paddle steamer and a private local post. The ship sailed regularly between Port of Spain and San Fernando, on Trinidad island, now in Trinidad and Tobago from the end of 1845 until 1854. The private local post ran during the same time with the use of postage stamps on its mail from April 1847.
== History ==
Coming from the Napier shipyard in Glasgow,〔Mackay, James. "Her ladyship's ship". ''Stamp Magazine'' #73-10: October 2007, page 59.〕 the ship was christened in hommage of the Governor Sir Henry McLeod's wife and began its Port of Spain–San Fernando route in November 1845.〔Courtney, Nicholas (2004). ''The Queen's Stamps, page 49.〕
The 60-ton, 40 hp, steamer was bought by Turnbull, Stewart & Co. In 1846, David Bryce bought it and let it some years later to a San Fernando consortium.〔Courtney, Nicholas (2004). ''The Queen's Stamps'', page 50.〕
At the beginning of the 1850s, the postal monopoly fall and American and Netherlands ships entered the competition. After a last purchase, the ship foundered near San Fernando in 1854.〔 The ''Lady McLeods bell was retrieved and has been regularly displayed by the Trinidad Philatelic Society.〔
