More about this scene
When the Victoria Pier was completed in 1872 it gave Douglas the facility to handle steamers regardless of the state of the tide. To increase handling capacity the pier was extended in 1888 to a length of 1620 ft. The two small ferries berthed alongside the pier are the 'Rose' and the 'Thistle', which were used on the Douglas Head service. In 1896 the Liverpool & North Wales Steamship Co introduced a summer service from Llandudno.
