My PhD research was focused on grief in the 19th
century. I can tell you exactly how much they
would have wanted modern medicine. I've read so
many accounts of people writing about how they
would have done anything to save their children,
their spouses, their siblings.

Mothers and fathers who sat up all night praying
that their baby would see the morning. People
giving huge sums of money to quack doctors in
the hope that they could save their wives.
Mothers writing about how they would do
anything to not leave their children alone. One
father after the loss of his fifth child in a month
retelling how he had wanted to go outside and
scream, but that he was too tired, so he lay down
on the dining room floor instead.

After I read all that it feels like an insult that
anyone in the modern world would turn down
vaccines, when for thousands of years countless
people would have given everything they had for
the opportunity to save their loved ones. — aylwyyn228 My PhD research was focused on grief in the 19th century. I can tell you exactly how much they would have wanted modern medicine.

This is the corner of a hand-sewn #sail made in the #1800s. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are truly remarkable—a skill that has largely become a lost art.
Canvas sails like this were made from hemp, which was also used in clothing, ropes, and even the caulking that sealed gaps between ship planks. Hemp was favored over materials like jute because it was three times stronger and resistant to saltwater..
