Calstock, circa 1910
the completion of the railway viaduct at Calstock in 1905, started the decline in the use of the river for commercial navigation. The steamers continued to provide day trips from Plymouth and Saltash for many years, and indeed there are still pleasure cruises available. There was fierce competition between the steamship companies.
