Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

The Vashon Navigation Company was a shipping company that operated steamboats on Puget Sound in the early 1900s.  Steamboats owned by the company included Norwood and the propeller steamer Vashon.  The company was founded by steamboat captain Chauncey “Chance” Wiman (whose wife Gertrude also held a steamboat master's license) and John Manson, of Dockton, who was a steamboat captain and an engineer.
