Die Entwicklung der Seefahrt und des Schiffsbaus in medizinischer Hinsicht / Hans Schadewaldt.
Title: | Die Entwicklung der Seefahrt und des Schiffsbaus in medizinischer Hinsicht / Hans Schadewaldt. |
Translated title: | The development of sea travel and of ship construction in a medical context. |
Author(s): | Schadewaldt, Hans. |
Date: | 1998. |
Language: | German. |
In: | Wetterlotse. (1998.), Vol. 50(618) (1998) |
Abstract: | Article describes three stages in crews' ill health: manpower, wind, machine power. Decks lengthened possible voyages so Greeks had ships' doctors. Long voyages of discovery under sail were sad tale of sickness and death. Ships had bilges full of water let in by teredo worm, human waste mixed in, often corpses. English were first to practise sea burial. Sleeping was sardine type, passing on many diseases. Steam power shortened voyages, but brought dust and much heat, and iron hull conducted heat. Convict hulks and harsh punishments were bad for health. |
