Steamer Point Post Office


The new Steamer Point Post Office was opened in 1858 but within a year the rapid growth of services demanded larger premises. Despite pressure from Aden the usual procrastination by Bombay delayed improvements.  It was finished 10 years later and was officially opened 31st March 1868.  At this time the Steamer Point Post Office became the G.P.O., taking over from the Aden Camp Post Office in Crater.

The first PostMaster at Steamer Point was Mr. W. L. Nicker. He was replaced a year later by W. Potts and then by Jocelyn Waller in 1859.
