"Seasickness: A Rollercoaster of Nautical Misfortune" Ahoy there. Brace yourself for a tale of turbulent tides and queasy passengers. On the majestic Queen Mary, known for its opulence and grandeur, one audacious traveler dared to succumb to an age-old affliction – seasickness. While others reveled in the luxurious voyage, this brave soul found themselves at odds with the relentless sway of the ocean. Meanwhile, three mischievous schoolboys embarked on an adventure that quickly turned into a nauseating ordeal. As they set sail on their escapade, their stomachs churned with every wave that crashed against their vessel. Seasickness had them firmly in its grip as they clung desperately to any semblance of stability. In another corner of maritime history, we find ourselves immersed in John Weir's whimsical illustration from The Bogus Book of Botany. Here lies Travellers Joy (Nausica Atlantica. ), where even mythical creatures are not immune to the perils of seasickness. This comical depiction reminds us that no matter how fantastical our surroundings may be, nature's wrath can still strike mercilessly. Comic postcards from the 20th century further illustrate this universal struggle aboard boats big and small. Whether rowing or sailing across vast oceans, individuals were left clutching their stomachs while battling waves both real and metaphorical. Even stewards onboard ships couldn't escape this common malady as they tended to sickly passengers with sympathetic glances. Yet amidst these tales of woe lies a humorous silver lining - weather reports illustrated with breezy charm provide some comic relief during these tumultuous times at sea. Young women bravely face their discomfort head-on while maintaining grace under pressure.
