About Stamp
When Star Trek first aired, it immediately captured the imagination of countless fans. This popularity was due in no small part to the Canadian actors who made the series the success it became. Montréal-born William Shatner seemed born to play the swaggering leader, Captain James T. Kirk. Vancouverite James Doohan, as chief engineer and miracle worker Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, kept the Enterprise together. John Colicos, from Toronto, starred in only one episode but broke new ground as Kor, the first major Klingon to challenge Kirk and his crew.
U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701
Kirk and his crew trusted their five-year mission – and their lives – to the Enterprise, a state-of-the-art Constitution-class starship fully equipped for discovering and defending the final frontier. More than once, the Enterprise faced off against the Klingons and their ferocious battle cruiser – always emerging victorious, despite some close calls.
