It’s for horses and carts, and foot traffic only. The railway line from Bangor to Fflint still operates, but ships have the advantage when it comes to handling freight to and from Mona. By Tuesday The Frabjous Joy is ready to depart Amlwch loaded with ore, a good deal of citrus fruit, locally grown bananas, and dozens of crates of sweet white wine. It sets sail for Conwy.

A shared heritage - The opening of the Menai Bridge was big news in #Ireland - Sir Henry Parnell and some "gentlemen" came on the ferry to #Holyhead for the opening of the "stupendous work". #IrelandWales #MenaiBridge #IrishSea #engineering #transport #Wales 🚢 #Anglesey #YnysMôn #FlashbackFriday

'...A creature struggling to live

Photograph shows a lone fisherman on the Mebai Strait to illustrate a poem entitled Lone Fisherman by Fred Hobbs A morning sea like fractured glass, silver in the first moments of a rising sun lapping softly at the crusts of a sandy beach, deserted by all but one A fisherman, a weathered face eyes straining to see the thin clear line stretching taut across a breakerless surf whistling as the soft breeze passes vanishing into a world below Beneath the surface, a beach less abandoned teaming with silent life radiant with tropical color All, like the fisherman, searching for nothing more than the morning’s sustenance A bamboo rod, tall and defiant arches now to a familiar challenge while the tattered reel screams and grudgingly releases its precious holdings to... A creature struggling to live but doomed to perish in a world it does not know exists
