| CONTENT: | All of the seventeen apostles, excepting Johan Peter Falck, traversed the often perilous waters of the North Sea. This image from the Swedish East India Company captain Carl Gustaf Ekeberg’s travel journal, embarked upon in 1770, does express the hazards to the ships even on a minor sea such as the North Sea [Nordsiön]. Seven of the apostles passed away during their long voyages to all continents, but none of them died due to drowning or shipwrecking. Seasickness however, was a common ailment among the travellers. The ship’s chaplain-cum-naturalist Christopher Tärnström seems to have been worst affected, judging by repeated reflections in his journal. He noted for instance: ‘the ship rolled dreadfully so that everything fell higgledy-piggledy’, he was confined to his sickbed for a whole week, he was too weak to leave his cot and furthermore his seasickness continued along the route in the Atlantic Ocean almost up to the ship entered Cadix Bay. |
