Thank you very much Uli for this new mail art.

Uki written that there is a german navigator who is worth to be mentioned : Felix Graf von Luckner  (1881 - 1966). Probably the last  privateer in the strict term of the sense but he didn't receive financial compensation in exchange of his catch. He earned the epithet "the Sea-Devil".
