Issued in 1964, this Israeli 1.00 lira stamp honors the S/S Shalom, the nation’s most luxurious passenger liner built for Zim Lines. The design, rendered in blue and turquoise, depicts the elegant modern ship sailing beside classic sailing vessels—symbolizing the bridge between Israel’s maritime past and modern achievement. The Shalom was a symbol of national pride, representing Israel’s presence in international seafaring during the 1960s. This maritime-themed issue remains a favorite among collectors of ship and transportation stamps.
