How long would it take to get from Europe to Australia in the 1800s?
In the days of the sailing ships, the fastest ones (called Clippers) would make the trip from Liverpool to Australia in 90 days. Regular sailing ships would take around 10 - 20 days more for the trip. After the advent of the steam ships in the late 19th century, the duration became equal to Clipper speed, also because most ships continued to go around Africa. It was only in the early 20th century that steam ships regularly started to use the Suez Canal for the trip, cutting the duration to around 80 days.
