Overview

Excerpt from The Ocean as a Health Resort: A Practical Handbook of the Sea for the Use of Tourists and Health-Seekers The great advance which has recently taken place in the construction of large, powerful, and commodious steamships for the Australian voyage will no doubt lead eventually to such improved accommodation for passengers as will not only cause vessels of this class almost entirely to supersede sailing ships for passenger traffic, but will also remove many of the objections that now exist to steamers in the case of invalids. Some of these objections, however - such as the too rapid transi tion from one kind of climate to another - must always remain; and for the present, some of the fine sailing ships which still run to Australia, and are specially arranged for the comfort and convenience of passengers travelling for health, will, I think, afford the most favourable Opportunities for reaping the full benefits of a sea-voyage.
