Ok, I really need to gain access to PeakD so I can upvote/commet there.
I love this, @myjob.
He said why would anyone do that (travel by ship) when they could jump on a plane and be there in a few hours.
This is one of the problems with people today, everyone wants things fast. If people could jump on the slow ship and cross the ocean, they might find out that slowing down can be a good thing.
You remind me of a Henry James novel. In the late 1800s, ocean travel was the only way to Europe, and his characters made a surprising number of jaunts in "Portrait of a Lady," but they never complained of "jet lag," and I wonder now what ship travelers called it when the time change disrupted their sleep (it's seven hours ahead in Europe, more or less).....

That is a good question, maybe as the ship traveled on, their sleep habits slowly changed. That is my guess.
