I can’t imagine what it would be like to send vital messages by pigeon, not knowing for an hour or much more whether it got there or if it will make it back. I understand the pigeons were targets, even if they were hard to hit. Well, I guess it is not as bad to see a loved one set to sea in a tall ship, not knowing when you should really start worrying. We never had it so good.
