I have a problem with the 90% loss figure by laudablepuss 03/08/2010, 8:43am PST This is reminiscent of a bizarre figure I've seen reported that Magellan lost 90% of his men to scurvy. It is certainly untrue, and I doubt any voyage ever had that high a scurvy death rate. There are lots of ways of accidentally getting vitamin C, and anytime sailors are able to go ashore for fresh provisions, they'll have to get some. (Still reading this otherwise excellent article . . . )
