RE: Sailing into the Week
I was on the ship and it is pretty cool and restored also. I am amazed they sailed these around the world!

It really IS hard to imagine being cooped up for a long time in such small spaces with a comparatively lot of men, with nothing to do at times but lay around.
I know that there was work to be done, but I've also read there were long periods when they were in the 'doldrums' (a real condition) when there was no wind to speak of and they were in dire straits.
What a bummer.
Thanks @dswigle for the tip.
