The Falmouth Packet with the year 1842 is one of the last sailing packets, at that time she were mostly Royal Navy owned vessels manned by navy crew. Most packet services were taken over by steam ships.
In 1842 according Lloyds, 10 sailing packets were still used from Falmouth with a tonnage between 183 and 365 ton. Which is depict I don’t known.
