| A Canal Zone Forerunner |
 |
| When the French were attempting to build a canal, Panama was still a part of Colombia. This postacrd was sent from "Colon Aspenwall" to Gorgona where it received a Gorgona/Canal de Panama postmark. The reverse also has the same postmark and a message in English concerning the sender's planned visit the next day to Gorgona. This is apparently the only known example of a Canal de Panama postmark from Gorgona. |
