"They had sailed from Deptford, from Greenwich, from Erith- the adventurers and the settlers" (Conrad, 2).
Deptford, Greenwich, and Erith are all towns in England. By the text, it is clear that these where common towns to depart from before going on a voyage over seas. Once again, Joseph Conrad is alluding to places that you would pass right before reaching the ocean.
