People traveling by boat can choose two routes. They can board the East Coast, go through the jungle to Panama, and on the other side to California by boat. Cape Horn, a longer-distance passenger near South America
There are many people from the east coast of the United States to the southernmost point of South Point, Cape Horn, and California.
The trip ranges from 100 dollars to 300 dollars and may take 3 to 6 months. It was a tough trip, storm, seasickness, fresh water, lack of fruits and vegetables. They eat salty meat, fish, dried beans, rice, potatoes. One of the recipes is a hash made from lobscope, bacon, potatoes, sea crackers and dry bread softened with water. In order to taste the bad taste of water, molasses, vinegar, spices were added. This is called a switcher. Generally, the food is very bad. After several weeks, fresh food disappeared. Passengers explained the two bugs of molds that molded about each bean and insect.

Many travelers eventually parked on a whaling ship, crowded in places where fat and oil were transported, and people had to stand and sleep for a long time. In 1849 more than 500 vessels headed for California. After landing in New York and Boston, many gold hunters from Europe came into this route.
The route through Panama is faster but more expensive. It costs between $ 200 and $ 400. 49 travelers visited Panama, crossed the jungle and went to the Pacific Ocean. Crossing the jungle means insects, snakes, yellow fever, malaria, cholera and other diseases. When they arrived in the Pacific Ocean, travelers often found that boats to San Francisco were full. They may have to pay bribes to wait a few days, weeks or months for the ship or to leave the ship quickly. The boat leaving Panama City is very crowded. As one captain said, they are "buried". If it is not necessary to wait for them to go to San Francisco on a boat, this route may take more than a month.
Many ships rushed away the gold rush and abandoned the port. The ship was hauled on land and turned into a building on land. Learn about the ship named Nyantic
The winter storm makes it difficult to move on land, and many people choose to move by boat. Between 1848 and 1849, 762 ships left the eastern port of San Francisco. This makes San Francisco the third largest domestic port after New York and Boston.
Dana explained his way home around Cape Horn and explained some of the "alert" paragraphs of his new ship. The ship is sailing at the Antarctic iceberg. He explained the beauty of the area and provided a direct explanation about large storms and icebergs. He explained in detail the challenge of completing the cargo handling in a few weeks while fighting various elements. He can not work for a few days as the crew suffers a recession when the tooth is infected, so the crew need all the help he may find. Some crew members are suffering from scurvy almost when the journey around Horn is almost finished.
Cape Horn: In 1616, about 100 years from Magellan, Willem Schuten discovered Cape Phone towards the south. This is a better route as we do not need to navigate narrow roads. Around 1780, many ships used Cape Horn Passage. Because the wind blowing from the west and the south pole of the east flows through the gap between Tierra del Fuego and Antarctica, it is difficult to go west of Cape Horn. The route of the speed boat of the 19th century navigated from Europe to roar of 40, took them to Australia, then proceeded east around Cape Horn and returned to England.
Probably the earliest crew 's most beautiful dream was to find a complete waterway linking Europe and the east. Existing routes are very long and dangerous regardless of whether it is around the tip of Africa's cape or at the tip of Cape Horn in South America. Some of the reasons for this danger are due to Cape's severe weather conditions, some due to the existence of typical hostile
