85. PACKET MAIL BAG: For over 150 years Falmouth was the world's post office. Packets ran regular services and routes. This canvas mail bag was found in a Falmouth attic and reads 'HMS 'Crane' Letters for England'. It may be one of the last ever carried on a packet ship. The 'Crane' was a star class naval brig, completed by the admiralty as a packet in 1839, and was probably broken up c.1862.
