History
Ferries became important on the island in the late 1800's, when Mona's Isle
(the Isle of Man) became a popular tourist destination. Visitors from
Ireland and the UK came in large numbers during the summer season and early steam
ferries were packed with visitors. Many of these boats provided refreshments
and music for their passengers. Even today the sea port remains an important
link between the island and its larger neighbours with many tourists, residents,
vehicles and goods passing through it annually.
Location
The Sea Port is located at the end of Douglas Promenade.
By Vehicle:
Travel to Douglas and then along the sea front to the harbour side
of Douglas Promenade.
By Bus:
Douglas can be reached using most main bus routes: 1's, 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's,
and 6's, as well as many other minor routes. On the island most major routes
lead to/from Douglas.
By Railway:
By Electric Railway, take a tram heading to Douglas. Then walk along
the Promenade to the Sea Port.
(Note: It is a long walk, there are always buses and in the summer a regular
Horse Drawn Tram service.)
By Steam Railway, take the train to Douglas and then walk along the harbour
to the Sea Port.

Travelling To and Using the Sea Terminal and Port

The terminal building was built in the 1960's, though it has been
modernised extensively since then. Inside there is a Steam Packet
Travel Shop, large Tourist Office, newsagent, and a bar offering some
cafe services.
