Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rambles in the Isle of Wight: With Miscellaneous Additions
From this point the distances are as follow, viz. To Cowes, about 12 miles, Ryde, 18 the excursion, by steamer, down the Southampton Water is, per haps, one of the greatest aquatic treats that can be enjoyed during the summer season, in visiting the Isle of Wight.
Were I to give any opinion as to the shortest and most agree. Able course in reaching the Island, I should say, let Ryde be the first object, and, on leaving it, Cowes the last. The distance from Portsmouth to Ryde is about 5 miles, and is a very delightful trip by any of the numerous steamers plying between those places - the highest fare is eighteen-pence. The charge from Southampton to Cowes - is eighteen-pence: and to Ryde, two shillings.
