Sailing ships like the one depicted in the weather vane once took several weeks to cross the North Atlantic from this spot http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/A-History-of-Port-Glasgow , but the jet aircraft flying overhead (another is just out of sight) will complete the journey in around six hours.
