Would u have surived the trip? And how to survive as picky eater with extreme ibs?
I would being a lot of oranges to prevent scurvy
>>18419385Trips at least a month long. Fresh fruit would go bad after a week.
>>18419402>Fresh fruit would go bad after a week.No they won't. You pick them before they're fully riped and let them ripen on the journey
>>18419404Good idea. But they still would only last a week once theyre riped. And you cant eat them b4 then.
>>18419410>I will get scurvy if I dont eat a fruit for a month o algo aaaaaahhhhhhThis thread is full of mouthbreathing morons.
>>18419449Say again?
>>18419402Slightly bad fruit is still better than getting scurvy if it comes down to it
>>18419492Slightly bad? When i said a week i was being generous. Fruits stay good for a week under ideal condition. On a boat in the middle of the atlantic in thr 15 century itd be lucky to last 3 days. Make it into marmalade or sth. Itd last longer
>>18419494I mean what's the worst that could happen if you eat it compared to the alternative
>>18419385https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauerkraut
>>18419376>corned beef>salt pork>salt cod>ship’s biscuit>dried peas>occasional lemon juice>rum to keep warm against sea spray
>>18419376Excerpt from Plages upon our World:>"From 1772 to 1775 during Pringle's tenure as president of the Royal Society, Captain James Cook carried out his second voyage of exploration across the Pacific. The first voyage (1768-71) had seen his crew in good health for much of the journey, until a third of them were lost to disease following a stop in Batavia, the Dutch capital in the East Indies. These kinds of voyages had always been deadly. In the early eighteenth century, a Dutch mathematician named Nicolaas Struyck gathered data on eithy-four voyages between the Dutch Republic and the Dutch East Indies, voyages that traversed many of the same waters that Cook would sail. On the outbound voyages, passengers died at a rate of twenty-three per thousand, per month, meaning more than a quarter of the passengers might perish in a year; on the return voyage, 10 percent a year died. Long distance sail through the tropics was an existential gamble. Before setting out on his second voyage, Cook systematically investigated ways to reduce mortality among his men. He implemented a new hygienic regime informed by Enlightenment medicine (It was a small world: Cook offered a young Edward Jenner (smallpox innoculation) the post of naturalist on the second voyage, but thankfully the future discoverer of vaccination declined and returned to his native Gloucestershire.) Cook's ship became a floating public-health experiment and a microcosm of the early health transition: ventilation, filtration, rigorous cleaning, regular laundry, and assiduous avoidance of marshy coasts. On his return, Cook duly reported his methods and results to Pringle, who published them under the imprimatur of the Royal Society, closing the loop on this experiment. Cook's second voyage was far more successful, measured by the survivorship of his crew: after three years and eighteen days at sea roving throughout the tropics, out of a crew of 118 men only 1 had died."
