Here is an 1808 Ship Letter from Poole, Dorset to Edinburgh, with an oval "Ship Letter / crown / POOL" handstamp, in use 1804-1814.
The cover was charged "1N6" or 1/6d, which would be 1/2d for 500-600 miles in the General Post from Poole to Edinburgh via London, plus 4d Ship Letter sealed bag fee, making 1/6d in total.
