Before railroads and planes, the sea was the main road for trade. Sailors crossed by skill and stars, with voyages lasting months and barely a pause between. Even now, over 80% of goods still move by ship. In this Waterline episode, KC explores that long tradition—sailing lore, Puget Sound trade before 1920, and the songs that carried those stories across the water.
