Jaap has found us another lighthouse stamp that we have missed for more than 20 years! This stamp, issued on 23 Nov 2005, shows San Juan de Ulua Lighthouse which was the original Veracruz lighthouse and dates to the late 1700’s. It currently inactive but operated for about 100 years and is located on the fortress in Veracruz harbor.

On 19 Feb 2026 Estonia issued a new lighthouse stamp. This marks 32 years that Estonia has issued at least one stamp in this series. This year, the stamp shows Vormsi Lighthouse which is located on the Gulf of Finland in northwestern Estonia near Saxby. An interesting feature of this lighthouse is that it is both the rear range light for Vormsi North Range (C3758.1) and the front range light for Vormsi Southeast Range (C3757.9).The stamp was issued in sheets of 25 with a column of labels down the left side. The first two labels shown below show lights on the labels that I cannot identify but I assume are older versions of the North and Southeast range lights. If you can identify them, please leave a comment. The others are indicated in the description of the images.
