There's actually an elven history book I found in the bookshelf of my house that I found quite interesting. Forgot the name tho. It said that after the God wars the elves tried to make peace with all the different races (humans, gnomes, goblins, ogres) so that may be a partial explanation for the boat. I'd also like to point out that in Edgeville near the yew spot and near the place leading down to the dungeon there's an ELF FASHIONED DOOR. I find this intruguing, and maybe at the table near there peace negotiations took place. I honestly can't wait for Mourning's End Part 3. I hope we get to see Prifddinas and that this all is explained. I also hope that Port Tyras wasn't just another way of Jagex appeasing it's customers with a quick route to the Elf Lands because we already have a very decent way to get in. I currently have about 25 Lletya Tele Crystals (blame my elf slayer task) and I won't be using the Port Tyras ever. Ever. edit- I wanted to add that I think King Tyras is still alive and will some how pop up in MEP3 to stop his brother (King Lathas) from completing his evil plans of crushing Camelot.
