Piriapolis port, originally known as Puerto del Ingles, was a determining for Francisco Piria to buy these lands since it was the only way for quick communication with Montevideo. It was the only natural harbor between Maldonado and Montevideo. 
It was officially completed in 1915, having to recover constantle from the destruction caused by 4 storms during its construction. In March 1914 happened the arrival of the first steam ship with passengers: Captain Malovich with a crew of 614. The "Vapores de la carrera" of the Mihanovich Company began regular trips Buenos Aires - Montevideo - Piriapolis on January 15, 1921. 
In 1946 the estate became its owner as part of a settlement agreement between it and Piria's successors as payment of inheritance tax and estate delinquent contributions.
