A very rapid increase in the number of ships sailing between American and European ports began almost immediately after the end of the war of 1812 in order to meet the new need for the regular rapid transportation of mails, light goods, and passengers. It was the increase in emigration (移民) to America that for the first time made the carrying of passengers across the Atlantic more advantageous than the transportation of heavy goods. A new type of sailing ships, the packet, appeared to meet this new demand, and the ex-tent (程度) of the demand very soon caused strong competition among several packet lines. The earliest of these was the Black Ball Line opened in New York in 1816, only a year after the war. The service of the famous line started with four of the new fast packetseach of 400 to 300 tons/the Pacific, the Amity, the James Cooper, and the William Thompson. During the first twenty years o5 service, the average time from New York to Liverpool was 23 days and the average trip back to New York took 40 days. By the middle of the century, packets had increased in size between 909 and 1 000 tons, and their speed had increased. The Red Jacket once sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days 11 ( 1 /2) hours. The Mary Whiteridge took 4 (1/2) hours off this record on a run from Balti more to Liverpool. Such speeds were far greater than the average of from 19 to 21 days to Liverpool and from 30 to 35 homeward to New York, but the packets bad still set a new record for transoceanic (crossing an ocean) travel. No wonder that steamships, the first of which tried to compete with the packets itl 1838, only began to replace them in the 1850s.
