Filmed at Holyhead, the largest town on the island of Anglesey, this actuality film observes the Munster mail boat pulling into its port, for which Holyhead is famous. Its alternate title, Mailboat Munster Arriving at Holyhead From Dublin, reveals the boat's point of departure. Indeed, Dublin is only a short stretch across the water and Holyhead has traditionally represented a vital connection between Ireland, Wales and central England. The R.M.S. Munster seen here was in fact a replacement of the original mail boat of the same name and was one of four Royal Mail steamers in service between Ireland and Holyhead.
