The Great Western Railway Co. from its southern terminus, Weymouth, runs the Mail Steamers ANTELOPE, GAZELLE, IBEX, LYNX, REINDEER, and ROEBUCK, to the Channel Islands and Brittany; and from its western terminus, Milford, the Mail Steamers GREAT WESTERN, LIMERICK, and WATERFORD, to Waterford. [Illustration: ARUNDEL. London, Brighton and South Coast Ry. Co.] From Holyhead the London and North Western Railway Co. maintain passenger services to Dublin and Greenore. It is also interested with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Co. in the Mail Steamers sailing nightly between Fleetwood and Belfast. In 1902 the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Co. purchased from the Drogheda Steampacket Company, for the sum of £80,000, the entire fleet of the latter Company, consisting of five paddle steamers engaged in the Liverpool and Drogheda Service. The Drogheda Steampacket Company was one of the oldest Irish steampacket companies, having maintained a steampacket service between Liverpool and Drogheda for upwards of sixty years. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Co. is also a partner in the Fleetwood and Belfast Mail Service, and has recently extended the sailings of the Fleetwood steamers to Londonderry. A Joint Committee representing several railway companies operate a Mail Service between Stranraer and Larne. The paddle steamer PRINCESS VICTORIA or PRINCESS MAY sails twice daily during the summer months, and once daily during the winter months to and from Stranraer and Larne, making the passage each way in about two hours.
