Victorian steamboat travel times.

Jun 15, 2006 18:59

I'm aware that a journey across the Atlantic took nine days by steamboat from 1855 onward, but I'm assuming this would be to New York. I can't really find anything that states how long it would take to cross from England to, say, Jamaica. I was wondering if it would take the same amount of time, or perhaps a bit longer, considering the distance needed to be travelled? Thanks, in advance!
