rust Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think the voyage should take about two weeks and cost about 40 Pounds. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open." (Charlie Chan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seneschal Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 On a tangent, from studying American history with my kids recently, a clipper ship (sailing, 1840s through early 1870s) could get knots equivalent to 18-20 mph -- as fast as a modern petroleum supertanker. A clipper ship could make it from New York to California (around the tip of South America, Panama Canal doesn't yet exist) or from America to China in less than 100 days, just slightly more than three months. Not bad for a sailing vessel of the period. Hmmm, 1870s. Cthulhu vs. Captain Nemo, anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
