Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm flying across to Auckland to board the Queen Mary 2 for a trans-Tasman crossing, which will take me to Sydney.

I had a flight this morning that was supposed to depart at about 9:00 in the morning, but it was delayed and then canceled.

YouTube Video Description

Missing flights, cancelled connections, and a race against the clock—did I actually make it to the ship? Join me, Chris Frame, the maritime historian, on a journey to New Zealand that nearly ended before it began. In this video, we experience the frantic pace of modern air travel before stepping back in time to explore the slow, steady, and far more reliable history of the great ocean liners. From the golden age of sea travel to the logistical hurdles of 2026, we compare how we crossed the globe then versus now. —
