The three thousand mile journey, depending on winds and the captain's skill, could take from 40 days to three months in sail boats. When steamships came into service around 1850 , the voyage was shortened to between 3 to 4 weeks. Northern U.S. and Canada had a hard winter in 1846-7 and the snow and ice were causing delays for many of the vessels. There are reports of gales and of vessels being stuck in the ice for weeks.
