Perhaps there was a Weston-super-Mare–Cardiff/Penarth ferry?

Thank you 😊 I will definitely investigate that option as it does make sense. Surely there had to be a ferry to Wales.

Having just had a quick look, Campbell's Steamer may have travelled between Weston-super-Mare and Penarth, according to a page Bath Newseum. In 1942 American troops landed in Penarth so attracting the locals and no doubt personnel and folk from across the channel.

Plenty to consider and investigate 😁
