Once upon a time the only way to travel far was by boat Some of these boats have been remade. I visited one of them in the harbour of Sydney.
A replica of the ship has been built and it has been temporarily docked in Sydney Harbour. Since it is built as a copy of the original ship, you can actually get an accurate idea about how it must have been to sail on those boats. Actually, this idea is incredible. Just imagine: you board the ship in Northern Europe, without having a clue about what to expect on the other side of your trip. You will be stuck for months with the same people, with diseases, with lack of proper food. Little space to move around, dark decks, personal problems perhaps escalating into serious trouble. No proper bathroom, washing room, toilet. And obviously no modern entertainment such as duty free shopping, movies or a swimming pool.
