Mailboat 'Ulster' at Kingstown

In the 1820's the City of Dublin Irish Steampacket Company and the government mail service both made Kingstown their port of mail delivery. Ships were the fastest method of transferring post, people and packages across the Irish Sea, making Dun Laoghaire the principal port between Great Britain and Ireland. The opening of Irelands first railway between Dun Laoghaire and Dublin further enhanced the villages' status.
