K.uK Marinefeldpost - undated cover mailed from SMS Sebenico to Fiume(Rijeka) Croatia. SMS Sebenico was a Zara class torpedo-criuser commissioned in 1882 with crew of 13 officers and 135 sailors. The ship served as a training ship with the naval artillery school from 1903 to May 1915. From the beginning of WW I it was used as a guardship in Šibenik port and later in Novigrad. In 1918 it was assigned to the torpedo school and served there until the end of World War I. This cover with note Feldpost is from WW I era, probably from 1914 or early 1915 before Marinefeldpost in Pola was estsbilshed. Naval mail from before WW I wasn't marked as feldpost and the postage was always paid.
