Scott #: 2065
This stamp was issued to commemorate ESPAMER '77, philatelic exhibition held at Barcelona, Spain on October 07 to 13; and also for the Bicentenary for regular mail routes to the Indies (Central and South America).
The stamp is issued in sheets of 8 stamps and 8 labels showing the exhibition emblem - The Lady of Umbrellas, the Parque de la Ciudadela, Barcelona.
The stamp also shows a brig crossing the ocean between the Spanish coast and the Americas.
What an interesting theme to collect on stamps. I am not a seasoned stamp collector, but I do have some themes that I love to collect, particularly that of FIFA and lighthouses. While I have not been much into collecting other themes, but I think I may be adding the theme of ships on my collection. I have been looking at a Spain Catalogue from an online stamp authority website and I think I might start collecting my ship stamp collections with the 1930 ship stamps from Spain. At least now I have some collecting to look forwards as it has been a while since any of the themes I collect had new releases, except for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, of course, which I am nearly done collecting.

Yes, ships are vast subject and much interesting for those who collect maritime / navy / explorers theme.
