Summary
Travel became more popular in the Victorain era, as steam engines became more and more popular. After railroads were built, it had become a regular experience for wealthier families to travel to other cities within the country by train. With the production of steam engines, the construction of steamships had begun. The new ships were fast and efficient, they could take families across the Atlantic in a matter of days, compared to the 3 months by sailing.
