Exactly 100 years ago today, my 18 year old grandfather, Kurt William Leucht, wrote the following entry into his journal:
When I got up at 6:30am according to German time, it was 12:30am New York time. On these days, not much happened that is noteworthy. The sea became more turbulent, the ship swayed and many become seasick. I myself had to vomit. I went to sleep for six hours. I couldn’t eat anything. I finally ate the evening meal and went to bed at 8:00pm [Germany time].
You can read my grandfather’s entire journal by clicking below. It’s quite interesting! Of course, I’m biased! 🙂
