- W2479314097 abstract "The introduction of steam technology was a crucial factor in the development of modern tourism: this held even more true for Irish travellers than for their British counterparts, as Ireland lay at a further remove from the centres of continental tourism. Compared with Channel crossings, trips across the Irish Sea were time-consuming experiences, notoriously fraught with potential discomforts and dangers. From the 1820s onward, regular steam packets from Dublin and other Irish ports helped minimize such hazards for those who left Ireland’s shores in search of foreign recreation. Steam routes between Ireland and Britain, together with the development of railways on the British mainland, reduced distances between Ireland and the continent. The transition to steam was neither sudden nor complete, and for a time sailing vessels continued to play a part. In 1831, the Freeman’s Journal ran an advertisement for ‘cheap and agreeable conveyance to Gibraltar, Leghorn, Naples and back to Dublin’ aboard the ‘coppered brig St John’. The brig’s ‘well-known character for swift sailing’ would ensure that the trip could be completed ‘within the compass of a few weeks’, during which the ship was to remain at anchor at each port to ‘give the Passengers an opportunity of visiting the adjacent Country, the excavated ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius, &c’. Although this was advertised as ‘cheap’, the Irish tourists who availed themselves of such opportunities would have been well-heeled: the St John was to carry wines ‘of the best kind’, and readers were told that several ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’ had already secured places on board—at a cost which remained unmentioned. For the majority of tourists, though, a trip to the continent would first have involved the crossing of the Irish Sea aboard the new steam ships that sailed to Holyhead and Liverpool—a scene that recurs in the travel books by O’Flanagan, O’Conor and Mitchell that were discussed in the preceding chapter." @default.
