Formed in 1835 to take over the Woodside-Liverpool steam ferry service introduced by Hugh Williams in 1822. Ferry rights were leased from Francis Richard Price. By Act of Parliament (5 Vict. Sess. 2. cap. v.) the service passed to the Birkenhead Improvement Commissioners in 1842. (The Commissioners also became owners of the ferry rights in 1858). The surviving records of the Company were inherited by Birkenhead Corporation, and are therefore classified as records of the Corporation.
