New Caledonia 2013 Reopening of the Maritime Museum

A single stamp was released on 28 June 2013 to mark the reopening of the New Caledonian Maritime Museum after 3 long years of renovation work. The selvage of the full sheet of 10 stamps contains very interesting illustrations that probably refer to the subjects on display in the museum; the illustration that is most interesting here is at the bottom left corner of the sheet, showing a scuba diver recovering/studying a sunken artifact.
