More about this scene
From 1862 North Wall was the Dublin terminus for London & North Western Railway steamers from Holyhead. For years the LNWR did its best to wrest the lucrative Irish Mail sea-passage contract from the clutches of the CofDSPCo, but it was not until the commissioning of the 'Shamrock' and the 'Banshee' in the 1870s that they had ships to match the speed of the CofDSPCo ships. Even then, they failed to secure the contract.
