As late as the 1920s, my mother's two brothers went from Liverpool to Whitehaven in Cumberland by boat. Sadly they are all dead to I can't find out any details of what kind of boat it was but it won't have been anything very large! I know it's not Wales, but it shows that people did go to places on various coasts from Liverpool. And until the 1970s, you could go by boat from Liverpool to Llandudno - what a pity you can't do it now!
