I was pleased to read (SM, June) that a weekly container service between Cork and Liverpool has been introduced. However, this is not the first time the two ports have been connected directly, as there was a long-standing historical connection, lasting for nearly 150 years. A service between the two ports was started by the St George Steam Packet Co in 1825. Apart from wartime interruptions, the service ran continuously until 1968. It was transferred to the Cork Steamship Co in 1843, and in 1871 to the City of Cork Steam Packet Company Ltd. From 1936 the Cork company's ships were owned by the B+l Line, part of the Coast Lines group until 1965, when both companies were bought by the Irish Government, but after 1936 the City of Cork company continued to run the service.
