Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Seasickness was common among the passengers. In an diary by Robert Gow, he records that his son, John, was quarantined by the ship's doctor on account of measles. There are also two accounts of passengers and crew members suffering from delirium tremens. Suicide appeared to be a risk on any ship. On February 12th, 1872 the body of Mrs. Sunderland was found in a pool of blood in a water closet. The surgeon reported she had been dead for approximately half an hour and that self-inflicted slash of the throat was the cause of death.
