even sailboats have their own history of getting faster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_sailing_record

Sure you could run faster than average but best speed as of 2012: 121.1kmph 75.2mph

Sure, a new boat can go much faster, but OP es referring to older ships from before the train & plane were invented.
