The Seamens Mission and Sailors' Reading Room at 13 Eden Quay was opened on Friday July 20th 1888, at 3:00 pm. In September the Dublin Daily Express reported:

The Missions to Seamen Institute, 13 Eden quay, which was opened three weeks ago, is much prized by seafaring men. On Thursday last 72 visited the Sailors’ Reading Room, 12 letters were written there, 4 letters received there for seamen, 28 present at the temperance meeting in the evening, and 4 pledges taken, two of which temperance pledges were taken by shipwrecked sailors belonging to the crew of the wreck Mazeppa, and who have worked their passage to this port in the barque Miseltoe.
