INTERNATIONAL MERIDIAN LINE
The international date line is an imaginary line drawn through the Pacific Ocean at the 180th Meridian. It has been adopted by long years of practice.
The 180th Meridian was probably selected because it is twelve hours from Greenwich and passes through the Pacific, far from most civilized countries. Here, a traveler going east or west “changes date."
This is because for every 15 degrees traveled east or west, a person lengthens or shortens his day by one hour. This is because he moves with the sun when traveling west and in the opposite direction when going east.
For geographic reasons, the date line does not follow the 180th Meridian exactly. It runs in a northerly and southerly direction, separating the islands of the Pacific so that those on the east side have the same date as Canada and the United States, while those on the west side have the same date as Japan and Australia.
The date line passes through the Bering Strait, dividing America and Asia.
SPECIAL NOTICE
For the convenience of our patrons. Ticket Agents are carried on all Transpacific ships, including Vancouver and Yokohama, and return.
Eastbound ticket agents sell rail tickets to all points in Canada and the United States.
Kindly consult them regarding your return STEAMSHIPS, RAIL, SLEEPER, AND HOTEL RESERVATIONS.
