So, one of the things I love about Miss Fisher is something that isn't even in Miss Fisher.

Bear with me here.

Phryne meets Jane on the Ballarat Train. A year later, Jane returns to Australia from school in Europe. She misses out on Christmas in July in the mountains because her "ship left Marseilles early". This is absolutely not a thing. The ships that sailed from Marseilles to Australia were the Peninsular and Oriental liners on the mail route. They couldn't leave Marseilles early because that was where they met the mail train from London.

In fact, the sailing that would get her to Australia in time to actually spend some time in Australia before needing to head back to school was delayed by bad weather. They hit storms all the way down the West coast of Australia and then worse across the Bight. They were late into Fremantle and even later into Adelaide and Melbourne.

However, Jane could have disembarked at Fremantle and got the mail train across to Melbourne instead. This would have enabled her to arrive in Melbourne before Phryne expected her to, and just too late to make it to the party.

If we assume that this is the case, then the ship that brought Jane back to Melbourne to visit Phryne... was the RMS Ballarat.

There are many Scots words tae describe a state of intoxication ,fur example : Reekin, pished, guttered, mortal, blootered, stoatin, meltet, rubbered ,oot yer nut and so oan,but huv ye ever wonnered where the term 'Steamin' comes fae ?

Forbes Mackenzie Act of 1853.

In an attempt to curb people’s drinking habits, this act outlawed the opening of pubs after 11pm at night and banned the sale of alcohol in Scotland’s public houses on a Sunday.

However, those Scots who enjoyed a wee libation or two at the weekend were not about to be told that they couldn’t have a drink on a Sunday and they managed to find a peculiar loophole. The prohibition applied to pubs, bars and restaurants, but not to hotels or those travelling on passenger boats that were considered to be ‘bona fide’ travellers.

After the Forbes Mackenzie Act was passed in 1853, paddle boat companies (mostly owned by railway companies at the time) would charge a small fee to take passengers down the Clyde to various destinations on the West Coast of Scotland such as Arran, Rothesay, Dunoon, Largs and Gourock, and would serve alcohol to these so-called travellers on the boats.

Thus, getting around the law. Because alcohol was served on the vessels due to the legal loophole, the Temperance Movement could actually be credited with creating, somewhat ironically, the world’s first ‘booze cruise’.

The paddle boats of Glasgow were actually the very first iteration of scheduled steamship travel in the whole of Europe. 

Something that further solidified the widespread adoption of these phrases about ‘getting steaming’ was also that the Glasgow paddle steamers were the most widely used form of transporting whisky around the country at the time. The steamers would come down from Glasgow to places like Campbeltown, which was actually referred to as Whiskyopolis as it produced so much whisky at the time.
