Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that before the invention of regfrigeration in 1851, ice had to be imported to Australia from Boston, Massachusetts. The ice blocks travelled through the tropics inside ships insulated with timber, straw, peat, and sawdust by stumcm
You dispute that Australia needed to import ice from overseas before 1851?
