Note that because of prevailing winds and currents, many trips take longer on one direction, than the other. For example Port Royal to Havanna takes 5 days, but Havanna to Port Royal takes 15 days!! The type of vessels also affected travel times. These times are for mid-sized ships. Sloops and schooners can do the same journeys in 75-90% of the time. Large merchantmen may take 15-25% longer.
