It's 3,567 miles between France's port of Calais and New York.
Depending upon the wind, sailing ships averaged any where between 90 and 150 miles per day.
If a ship averaged 120 miles a day, we can find the time by dividing 3,567 by 120. So -- typically, a ship traveling between these two countries would take about a month to make the journey.
