List of Weymouth–Channel Islands sailing packets
text:
The Channel Islands Post Offices were established in 1794. Thereafter cutters under contract to the Post Office Packet Service sailed weekly, and later twice-weekly, carrying mail between Weymouth, Dorset, and the Channel Islands. Royal Charlotte was the first to sail, on 13 February 1794. She and Rover were Dover packets on the Dover–Calais run displaced by the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars. Two packets were lost to the perils of the sea, and one a French privateer captured. Hinchin
