SS Lady McLeod
The Lady McLeod was a paddle steamer and sailed between Port of Spain and San Fernando, on a regular schedule from the end of 1845 until 1854.
History of the Ship Coming from the Napier shipyard in Glasgow, the ship was christened in hommage of the Governor Sir Henry McLeod‘s wife and began its Port of Spain–San Fernando route in November 1845.
In 1846, David Bryce bought the steamer and let it some years later to a San Fernando consortium.
At the beginning of the 1850s, the postal monopoly fell and American and Dutch ships entered in competition. After a last purchase, the ship sunk near San Fernando in 1854. The Lady McLeod‘s bell was retrieved and is regularly displayed by the Trinidad Philatelic Society.

Postage stamp
The private local post of the Lady McLeod began as soon as its service started in November 1845. There were two rates: a monthly subscription of one dollar, or ten cents per letter.
In April 1847, David Bryce decided to introduce stamps which were sold individually for 5 cents, or for 4 cents if bought by the hundred. The Lady McLeod only transported letters bearing stamps, or pre-paid mail of the subscribers. The stamps were cancelled by a cross drawn by hand or by ripping up a corner.
