  3. Side wheeler steamship "Algerian" running the Lachine rapids in late 1800s.

    The Lachine Rapids are a series of rapids on the Saint Lawrence River, between the Island of Montreal and the south shore. They are located near the former city of Lachine.

  5. my features published in #CurrentBiology this year, issue 16: As it's still summer travel season, here's my bit about how #pathogens travel - from the stone age to #Covid, but the main new research I discuss is about intercontinental travel by sail and steam ships.

  7. Started watching #1899 on #Netflix. Can’t say much about the story yet, but the CGI work is fascinating.

    Sidenote: was the #coal used to power large #steamships really shovelled manually into the multiple #boilers? I know manpower was cheap, but surely some mechanical system would have been more reliable and easier to control? (Apparently not, says this answer to the same question: quora.com/Why-wasnt-a-system-d )
