Travel in 1800's
« on: Tuesday 05 April 16 02:04 BST (UK) »
Just wondering if there is a good site or information regarding the travel between Penzance and Scilly Isles in the early to mid 1800's. 
Was there a regular ferry to the Isles, how long did it take etc.

The Scilly Isles Steam Navigation Company started life in 1858.

Previous to that there were the Penzance/Isle of Scilly Mail Packets.
