A paquebot cover is a philatelic envelope or postcard posted on a ship at sea and subsequently hand-stamped "PAQUEBOT" (French for "packet boat" or mail ship) upon reaching a port. Adopted in 1897 by the Universal Postal Union, this marking signifies that the mail was carried by vessel and entered the regular postal system at the next port of call. 
Key aspects of paquebot covers include:

    Marking Origin: The "PAQUEBOT" stamp is applied by the receiving post office, not typically on the ship itself.
    Mixed Postal Interest: These covers often feature stamps from the country where the mail was written (e.g., origin country) but are cancelled with the postmark of a different country (the port of arrival).
    Variations: While "PAQUEBOT" is standard, variations exist, including "Paquebot" in a box, "Packet Boat," "Paquete-Bote," or "Ship Mail".
    Context: They represent a historic method of mail transfer from ocean-going vessels, often used for communication from passengers or crew on ocean liners, passenger ships, and sometimes whalers.
