Terry S asked:
In around 1893 how long would it take to travel by boat from China to the United States. If you don’t know that then that is fine, how long owuld it take regularly.?
I meant to say 1863. How long would it take to travel by boat from the country China to the United States. If you don’t know then how long would it take modern times?

If it’s in one of those little Junk boats – an absolute age I expect!
i think it would take somethink like 28 days depending on the ship (modern times)
China Lake is only a few miles long so it doesn’t even take half a day. (I live near China, Maine.)
I would assume around 4-5 in modern times.
In 1893, around a month.
On a slow boat from China – a heckovalong time!
considering the poor boat condition they use to have back then, it would probably at least take them six month to one years before they reach United States! Even with the technology we have on our boats today, there is still unpredictable weather change, and it is still very dangerous. Back then, boats are made out of wood, So it would be pretty difficult i say to protect it self from harsh weather. And it is very slow compare to modern boats, if there was a storm that takes place, the boat will probably be off track and it could take month before they are back on track. So i wouldn’t doubt it takes at least six month if not more to get to United States, that is with out major weather change, (storm, hurricane etc.)and any repairing of the boat happening on the way.

In 1893 its about 2-3 months. In modern times, I would expect its still about a month. The Pacific is a very big ocean.
In 1863 Guangzhou to San Francisco around 70 to 100 days
now around 14 to 24 days
