Alfonso Molina Mainieri has published a study of a Costa Rican postcard addressed to H. Meyer aboard the German cruiser S.M.S. Vineta at Curaçao. The illustrated card combines Costa Rican franking, an ALLEGHANY ship marking, the New York “PAQUEBOT / N.Y. 2D DIV.” marking and a Curaçao arrival dated 27 March 1904.

The author connects its first sea leg with the S.S. Alleghany and proposes a departure from Puerto Limón around 29 February 1904. He explicitly treats that day and the intermediate ports as a reconstruction requiring further primary documentation. The vessel that subsequently carried the card from New York to Curaçao remains unidentified.
