Nanaimo
is the bathtub racing capital of the world. This cover was
a publicity & promotional event cover that is not currently
listed in the stamp catalogs. The covers were delivered by a motorized bathtub
from Nanaimo to Vancouver on July 20 1975. There are a few of these around as
they pop up occasionally. A nice piece of Nanaimo bathtub history.
Bathtub racing started in Nanaimo, British Columbia and involves the use of a bathtub boat. The idea was conceived to showcase Nanaimo to the world, with the first races beginning with the "Nanaimo to Vancouver Great International World Championship Bathtub Race" in 1967
