This aerogramme (Greiner #16) was sent from a passenger on board UK ship MV Highland Princess when "docked in Buenos Aires" in December 1956.
The aerogramme would have had qualified for paquebot, i.e. the UK aerogramme accepted by the Argentinean postal authorities, when posted on the high seas. All postal items that are handed in after the ship has stopped in a port must be franked with local stamps. This is why the aerogramme was franked with a 3 pesos stamp.
