the 1st round the world cruise ... 100 year ago
Travel was a bit difference than>
On March 30, 1923, exactly 100 years ago, the world’s first continuous passenger cruise ship arrived back in New York City after completing a 130-day voyage.
This six-month trip was the first of its kind, paving the way for the world cruises of today, taking in destinations including Japan, Singapore, Egypt and India and traversing the Suez and Panama Canals. The voyage took place aboard the SS Laconia, a Cunard passenger liner chartered by the American Express Company for the occasion.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

They really need better proofreaders at CNN, or just fire the clowns they currently have and use ChatGPT. 130 days are six months? On what planet? On Earth, that's just over four months, they even gave the exact dates.
Must have been a great adventure at the time.

Things is you need someone to pilot chat GPT, n most journos are dumb as dog shit regarding tech... Been abused so many times cause they can't use a basic search function.Alex wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 11:24 am They really need better proofreaders at CNN, or just fire the clowns they currently have and use ChatGPT. 130 days are six months?

For a moment I thought this was going to be another one of PR's travel tales.
