Answer 1

When Jules Verne published his popular book "Around the World in Eighty Days", the journey was still slow. A journey through the world in eighty days seemed impossible in the real world. On November 14, 1889, Nelly landed on the steamer Augusta Victoria, leaving Hoboken, New Jersey. The race on the clock began at 9:40 in the morning. She went to France, where she met Jules Verne. She learned that the young reporter was sent by the magazine and outstripped her. This did not stop Nellie. She moved to Hong Kong and Japan before crossing the Pacific Ocean to San Francisco. Then Nelly traveled through the southern United States by train to New Jersey. Her amazing race made her a national heroine.

Answer 2

In 1889, when Jules Verne's book "Around the World in Eighty Days" was published, global travel was slow and completing such a journey in that time frame seemed impossible. However, Nellie Bly, America's first female reporter, was determined to prove otherwise. She convinced her editor to let her attempt to beat the eighty-day record set in the book, challenging any man who dared to compete with her.

On November 14, 1889, Nellie embarked on her journey aboard the steamship Augusta Victoria from Hoboken, New Jersey. Her first stop was France, where she met Jules Verne himself. They collaborated on planning Nellie's itinerary to mirror the route in Verne's book. From there, she traveled to Italy before navigating through the newly constructed Suez Canal. Continuing her journey, she sailed from Yemen to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and then on to Singapore. During her stay in Singapore, she purchased a monkey companion who would accompany her for the rest of the trip.

While in Asia, Nellie learned that another young female reporter was already ahead of her, sent by a magazine to cover the story. Undeterred, Nellie pressed on and visited Hong Kong and Japan before crossing the vast Pacific Ocean, arriving in San Francisco. From there, she traveled across the southern United States by train, finally returning to New Jersey.

Remarkably, Nellie completed her journey in just seventy-two days, six hours, and eleven minutes, setting foot in Jersey City at the train station. Her incredible feat turned her into a national heroine and an inspiration to many.
