Steamer and Railway Tickets

Early tickets were laboriously hand stamped and then in 1837 one ThomasEdmondson (1792-1851), a clerk on The Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, invented amachine for printing consecutively-numbered and standard-sized card tickets whichcould be automatically date-stamped in a machine-press. He patented his machinesand then persuaded the railway companies, first The Manchester & Leeds RailwayCompany, to lease his ticket dating machines at 10/- (50p) per route mile per year -and, at the time, there were literally tens of thousands of ‘route-miles’ !

Pier Signals

Many Clyde piers employed a berth signalling system which was devised around1887 by one Charles Allan, third son of the founder of The Allan Line.

Allan’s signals were housed in a white painted triangular box sited so that the twooutward-facing sides could be seen by approaching steamers.

Each exposed side contained three circular discs, for ‘inshore’, ‘middle’ and‘offshore’ steamers approaching from that particular direction.

Black-painted sliding boards, with red-lit glass centres, were raised as necessary toexpose a white-painted circle with a white-lit glass centre to the selected approachingsteamer and thus call her in to the pier in preference against any others approachingfrom the same or opposite directions.

Kilcreggan Pier continues to maintain a fully working set of Allan’s pier signals.

“Good Spirits”

The typical 1890’s and early 1900's steamer bar prices were slightly moreexpensive than ‘shore prices’, not surprising in view of the fact that they hada ‘captive’ clientele !

Spirits - per glass :

Brandy 8d; Whisky, Rum, Gin, Port, Sherry, Cordial (a range of thesewere available) and Lime Juice were all 4d; Special Whisky at 3d per ‘nip’.

Bottled Beers were all priced at 4d each as were aerated ‘waters’.

Liqueurs were 6d per ‘nip’, the most popular of the period beingMarachino, Benedictine and Green Chartreuse.

A small selection of wines, reflecting the better sellers of the time, was alsocarried on board and sold by the bottle - and by the pint ! .

Champagnes all at 10/6d per bottle, 5/6d per pint : Dry MonopoleHeidsieck, G. H. Mumm’s, Perinet and Fils and Pommery.
