    About this ebook

    How did people travel in past centuries and what did they take with them to make their long journeys easier? Travel by road, ship, canal, or railway all took a long time and had dangers so people learned to prepare. And then, in the nineteenth century, road improvements, inventions, and scientific developments made travel more pleasurable.

    Suzi Love

    I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback.I adore history, especially the many-layered society of the late Regency to early Victorian eras. In and around London, my titled heroes and heroines may live a privileged and gay life but I also love digging deeper into the grittier and seamier levels of British life and write about the heroes and heroines who challenge traditional manners, morals, and occupations, either through necessity or desire.Tag Line- Making history fun, one year at a time

      Traveling

      1800s New and Accurate Map Of The World.

      1800s New and Accurate Map Of The World.

      Through the centuries, people needed to travel long distances and often over unpredictable roads or stormy seas. So boxes and containers were adapted to carry everything a person needed. Toiletries, writing and correspondence essentials, sewing items, perfumes and pomanders, and eating and drinking utensils could all be packed into boxes made with special compartments to stop damage on long trips and to make them extremely portable.

      The Bath Chair was invented in Bath, England, in the mid 18th Century to transport the wealthy and the sick around the city. It could be steered by the passenger and rivaled and then outdid the Sedan Chair as only one chairman was needed to operate it. As roads improved, various carriages were invented and became the main type of vehicle for travel in the late 18th and 19th Century.

      Various alternatives to horse power were tested in London's streets during the 19th century, though steam powered road engines and trams proved too heavy and damaged the roads. Stationary steam engines were used to haul trams attached to a cable but these were only really effective on hills that we too steep for horses. There were also experiments with trams driven gas engines and battery electric power. but was successfully developed.

       Petrol engines were still primitive and unreliable in the 1890s. In 1900, the reliable horse still dominated the streets of London but new technology was to revolutionize road transport.

      With all the inventions and experiments in travel options in the 1800s, what was the best option for the general public? Bus or Train?

      Sedan Chair.

      Asedan chair is a portable enclosed chair for a single passenger. It was generally carried by two chairmen holding poles attached to either side of the chair. Sedan chairs were fashionable in England and Europe during the 17th, 18th and early 19th centuries and were an important part of the social life of the times. They were very useful for negotiating crowded, unsafe, narrow, winding and often filthy streets and were particularly used by invalids, ladies and party goers. Sedan chairs had the advantage of being able to be carried up and down stairs and could deliver the passenger from inside their own home to inside their destination without having to step outside.

      1784 Sedan Chair. ‘The return from a masquerade. A morning scene.' A young lady dressed as shepherdess with staff slumps in a sedan chair. Asleep or drunk her head and shoulders hang outside window. Two porters smile and dwarf chimney sweep carries a mask.’ By Robert Dighton and Cari.

      1784 Sedan Chair. ‘The return from a masquerade. A morning scene.' A young lady dressed as shepherdess with staff slumps in a sedan chair. Asleep or drunk her head and shoulders hang outside window. Two porters smile and dwarf chimney sweep carries a mask.’ By Robert Dighton and Cari.

      The 19th century English author, Elizabeth Gaskell, described the use and function of the sedan perfectly in her novel Wives and Daughters when she reminisced how the Browning sisters chose to be transported to a ball by sedan chair, which 'came into the parlor, and got full of the warm air, and nipped you up, and carried you tight and cosy into another warm room, where you could walk out without having to show your legs by going up steps, or down steps.'

      The Bath Chair was invented in Bath, England, in the mid 18th Century to transport the wealthy and the sick around the city. It could be steered by the passenger and rivaled and then outdid the Sedan Chair as only one chairman was needed to operate it. The last Bath
