EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print from 1815 captures the grim reality of sea travel in centuries past. Titled "Sea-Sick below Deck," it depicts bilious passengers trying various postures to alleviate their symptoms of seasickness. Some are shown sleeping, while others desperately hold their heads over a piss-pot, presumably vomiting due to the rough seas.
The only figure unaffected by the turbulent conditions is a stoic sailor, calmly going about his duties despite the chaos around him. The stark contrast between his composure and the suffering of the passengers highlights the harsh realities of life at sea during this time period.
The cramped compartments and lack of modern amenities on ships meant that even simple tasks like sleeping or holding one's head steady could become challenging for those struck with seasickness. This image serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by travelers in centuries past, as well as a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity.
For anyone interested in maritime history or curious about how people coped with seasickness before modern remedies were available, this print offers a glimpse into a bygone era when transport across oceans was not for the faint-hearted.
