[00:00.00]In port, the sailing ship,

[00:03.60]Hannah, under the command of

[00:06.10]Captain Mitchell lay at anchor.

[00:07.64]The adventure of crossing

[00:09.83]the Atlantic Ocean bound for Philadelphia

[00:12.35]would take two to three months.

[00:15.19]Passengers were assured

[00:17.38]there would be the best provisions

[00:19.35]and plenty of barrels of fresh water.

[00:22.63]storms could be fierce

[00:24.60]and living conditions below deck

[00:27.12]would be primitive 1.

[00:28.54]John joined the long queue

[00:31.27]and eventually after a lengthy 2 wait,

[00:33.24]reached the revenue table.

[00:35.54]He affixed 3 his signature

[00:38.06]to the contract promising 4

[00:39.92]to pay five pounds per person

[00:42.00]for berths 5 aboard ship.

[00:44.29]The clerk returned the receipt

[00:47.47]to John indicating that

[00:49.33]the sum of money had been paid.

[00:51.07]Once under sail the

[00:54.91]three hundred passengers found themselves

[00:57.20]crowded into miserable 6 conditions.

[00:59.72]The smell of so many people

[01:02.13]crowded together was offensive.

[01:04.21]The breadth of the vessel 7 was narrow

[01:07.70]and the headroom below deck minimal 8.

[01:10.33]As the tiny craft

[01:12.74]sailed out of Lough Foyle,

[01:14.60]and entered the Atlantic Ocean,

[01:16.57]it started to roll ominously 9

[01:19.20]and those aboard wondered

[01:20.40]if they would survive the long voyage

[01:22.59]ahead or be swallowed up

[01:24.77]by the enormous waves.

[01:26.09]seasickness was everywhere

[01:28.93]and people had no appetite.

[01:30.36]The food, instead of

[01:33.09]being of high quality as promised,

[01:35.06] was too often rotten and

[01:36.92]the water was brackish
