Dear all,
Not related to anything marching or galloping, I am looking for information regarding the average travel times cross ocean around 1700. Sure this information can be distilled from several contemporary accounts, but maybe this has been sorted out before. Maybe there even were almanacks that provided that kind of information?
So, for example, I am interested to know the time it took to sail from, for example, Portsmouth to Barbados, or to Jamaica. Or to any of the North American colonies. Or how long it took to get to Bombay or Bencoolen in the far East Indies.
Thanks for any hints
best regards,
Wienand
