Commissioning the USS PEGASUS
USS Pegasus was built in 1939 as SS Rita Maersk by Helsingør Jernskibs og Maskinbyggeri A/A, Helsingør, Denmark. Following the outbreak of World War II in Europe, she sailed to the United States where she operated under charter from the Maritime Commission as Rita Maersk and later as Larwin. After completing two cruises, she was laid up at Boston, Massachusetts, until 18 September 1941 when she was acquired by the United States Navy from the Maritime Commission. Renamed USS Pegasus on 15 October 1941, the cargo ship was converted for U.S. Navy use by Sullivan Drydock and Repair Corporation, New York City, and commissioned at New York on 3 December 1941, Lt. Comdr. William Fly in command.

Mae Weigand was a First Day Cover Cachet Artist who began her work in the late 1930's. Cachet artists emerged a few years after the United States Post Office started to issue FDC's to interested parties and Philatelic's. Mae Weigand was one of a handful of artists to commercialize the movement around the mid-century. The most practical medium used was graphite/pencil, pen and ink, or thinned paint, and are also known as Hand Painted Cachets or Hand Painted First Day Covers..
