Island Harbours by Janine Skelly

A beautifully illustrated stamp issue celebrating the Island’s historic harbours through the art of Janine Skelly.

Discover the beauty of the Isle of Man’s harbours through this vibrant six-stamp collection, featuring artwork by Manx-born artist Janine Skelly. Each stamp captures the charm of the Island’s historic harbours, where fishing boats and leisure craft rest beneath Janine’s signature swirling skies.

From the medieval port of Castletown to the bustling gateway of Douglas, each location tells a story of maritime heritage, community, and breathtaking scenery. Inspired by her love for the Island, Janine’s bold use of colour and movement brings these picturesque harbours to life.

A must-have for collectors and admirers of Manx culture, this unique issue celebrates the harbours that have shaped the Isle of Man’s past and continue to inspire today.

When I have telephoned customer services, excellent and very informative

I have collected Manx stamps since Postal Independence in 1973. In all of this time, I have never failed to be amazed at the wide range of subjects covered and by the sheer quality of their designs and presentation.
