Traditional Boats On Stamps Process Needs to Be Reviewed

By: Prof. Yinka G. Lloyd Stanford New York As an educator and an Anguillian with a New York rising, I welcome the documentation of Anguilla’s marine history so that “the younger generation in Anguilla will be given an opportunity to learn more about the traditional sea-faring life of the island when a new definitive issue of postage stamps is released on June 10.” On behalf of the family of my late paternal grandfather Mr. Richard James Lloyd (Roaches Hill), and in his memory, I would also welcome a fair and reasonable process for the inclusion of “traditional boats on stamps” for “these boats, which are no longer in existence.” To be more specific, I would like to know who made the final selection, and what determined the criterion for inclusion on the “traditional boats on stamps.” Why were the “Lady Lloyd” and the “May Lloyd” excluded from the documentation of the “Traditional Boats on Stamps?”
