How Far From Sea Breeze to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers & Almanacs that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Sea Breeze to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Sea Breeze and extending to:

  • Rochester, which is the Seat of Monroe County, lies just to the Southwest.
  • Albany, which is the State Capital of New York, lies 195 miles [313.8 km]<1> to the east (E). If you could drive a straight line from Sea Breeze to Albany, with an average speed<2>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take a little over three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 11 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 8 days.
  • The White House (Washington, DC) is 300 miles [482.8 km] to the south (S). Driving would take five to six hours, a buggy would take 12 days and walking would take 17 days.
  • The shortest distance<3> to Jerusalem (specifically the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock) is 5,734 miles [9,228 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<4>
  • The distance to the Great Mosque of Mecca (specifically the Ka'bah - or Kaaba ) is 6,458 miles [10,393.1 km] and it lies to the northeast (NE).<5>

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Sea Breeze) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'.
<2>While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day.
<3>The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Sea Breeze to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Sea Breeze. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.2306, Longitude: -77.5422       In this case, the coordinates for Sea Breeze have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<4>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 307.853 degrees.
<5>The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 304.077 degrees.
<6>The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 303.174 degrees.
