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?

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

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.
