Royal Mail ships began in the early 19th century, with the establishment of a regular mail service by sea. The first official Royal Mail ship, the "Royal Mail Packet," was launched in 1840. This service aimed to improve communication and transportation of mail between Britain and its colonies, marking a significant development in postal services at the time.
