Our family has rich resources in the form of letters from our great-great grandmother, E.J. Phillips. She travelled extensively in her work as a theater actress, and we know something about her feelings concerning boats, and travel by ship. We have numerous (over 1000) letters she wrote to her son and daughter that were passed down to us. We have some basis for feeling confident that boat travel was not at the top of her list of favorite ways to get from one destination to another.
