1820's travel by boat from ESX to Ramsgate
« on: Monday 14 January 08 15:30 GMT (UK) »
For a geographical perspective, if you were travelling from Essex to Ramsgate, Kent in the 1820's, I assume there would be some kind of passenger boat service available? Which ports in Essex sailed to Ramsgate across the Thames estuary?

Bagshaw's Directory of 1847 only lists conveyance by water to London and Ostend from Ramsgate.

I understand that carriage was the more common form of transport.

Pigot's Directory of 1840 only lists water conveyance services to London, and Boulogne and Calais.

Thanks for the input.
Looks like private small boat hire, or by carriage via London then. Seems unusual, but perhaps no business need to cross directly. Perhaps from the map there were ferry crossings further up from Greys or Woolwich?

There were (and still are) ferries between Woolwich and North Woolwich, and Gravesend to Tilbury.

Possibly the ferry from Tilbury to Gravesend, then other form of transport to Ramsgate.
Best wishes....Iris Smiley
