"Ship-Bored" by Julian Street is a funny story about a man's trip across the ocean in the early 1900s. The story is told by a traveler who doesn't like the sea and gets bored easily, who ends up making fun of travel by ship and the funny people he meets. This passenger struggles with seasickness and finds himself among people who are happy but bothersome, rich snobs, and interesting performers. He watches how everyone acts on the ship, commenting on how silly the trip is and making the best out of events like ship concerts and dealing with the customs people watching everything happen, painting a funny picture of what it's like to travel by sea and how weird people can be.
