Excerpt from The Ocean as a Health Resort: A Practical Handbook of the Sea for the Use of Tourists and Health-Seekers Frequent conversations with the many fellow-passengers I have met in the course of more than one voyage to the Australian colonies have led me to believe that a small handbook, such as the present, might be of considerable use to the constantly increasing class of travellers who, without previous experience of the sea, determine to try its invigorating or curative effects. I found that many had started with exceedingly dim notions as to what lay before them in their sea-life; that some were inadequately provided with those necessaries of personal outfit which, though perhaps trifling in themselves, are, especially in the case of an invalid, so indispensable to comfort during a long voyage; and that others had formed no definite plans for their stay in the country for which they were bound. In the following pages I have endeavoured, first, to give such practical information as to routes, shipping lines, outfit, and all other preliminary matters, as may enable even the most inexperienced traveller to make a judicious choice of a voyage and ship, and to provide himself with all that he will require for the passage out and home.
