Throughout almost the past 2 centuries, thousands of cruise ships, cargo ships,
tankers, and a few intrepid solo adventurers have crossed the mid-Pacific, totaling
many thousands of passengers. On alerts from the ships' navigating officers that
long ago became a seafaring tradition, passengers are always notified when a
vessel is about to cross the International Date Line, and they typically flock to the
rails to look for it. Except on the darkest nights, or on the days when the sea is most
turbulent, crowds of people routinely see the line, black and straight and only a few
feet beneath the surface, as the ship glides silently across it and the ship's chronometers
trip in unison to the next or previous day, depending on their direction of travel.
So many sea travelers through a continuous period of almost 200 years have seen the
line, and have even raised a glass and toasted it with their fellow travelers at the
instant of the crossing, that its existence is now common knowledge on the sea, and
no shred of doubt remains in the mind of anyone who has personally traveled by sea,
or who knows anyone who has. In our day, the existence of the line has been confirmed
by thousands of witnesses, sound of body, mind, and sight, no less than that of the
ocean itself.
