Written under the pseudonym Titmarsh, Thackeray's Notes on a Journey from Cornhill to Grand Cairo was published in 1846. Appreciating the vessel, the captain, and the crew, Thackeray recounts his brilliant trip and the majestic areas that he visited. Malta, Athens, Smyrna, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo, as well as the sea shores of Spain and France are all described, as are the troublesome experiences and the sea-sickness felt by some of his fellow passengers.
