Cheeky Actress Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Alright! No wise remarks from ANYONE... (I should have known ) This is it. You know where you would have lived, what you would have worn, even what sort of dowry you would have given your daughters. And now you know how you would have died.

Misson Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 A lot of people seem to be dying from bullet wounds. This little program must not be very well based in history, at least regards pirates and seamen, as this was not a common way for such people to die. “Battle fatalities on navy ships…counted for only a fraction of the mortality rate, particularly on tropical stations, and many of those who did die as a result of enemy action succumbed not because their wounds were mortal, but because they became infected.” Joan Druett, Rough Medicine: Surgeon’s at Sea in the Age of Sail, p. 133“Engagements at sea, though catching the eye of the historian and vital for the successful confrontation of the enemy were, from a medical standpoint, the least onerous of the surgeon’s duties because they occurred relatively rarely.” (Dr. Kathleen Harland, “Naval Medical Care 1620-1770,” J Royal Medical Service 2005, p. 64) During battle, it wasn't usually bullets or cannon balls that caused most of the carnage, either. “By far the greatest cause of death or mutilation in a firefight between the ships of the period were flying splinters. Naval surgeons found that close fought actions produced less casualties than actions conducted between opposing ships at a distance. In close fought actions, the velocity of cannon balls was so great that in penetrating the side of a ship a clean aperture was produced with few splinters. But a spent ball, traveling from a distance usually produced a jagged aperture with numerous deadly splinters by which more men were killed or wounded than by the ball itself.” (Tony Harrison, “Nelson and his Navy – Surgery in the Royal Navy,” The Historical Maritime Society Website) Far more seamen died from disease than ever died in battle, though. Much is contained in the various naval records about disease - usually referred to as fluxes or fevers - from the period but not many statistics. Reliable record counts don't appear until about the mid 17th century, but the treatment and understanding of diseases changed little from the 15th through the early 18th centuries, so the following data is probably indicative of mortality by disease among seamen. “The House of Commons reported in 1762 that of 185,000 men in the sea services during the late war (against the French and Spanish), over 130,000 perished by disease and two-thirds of that number died of scurvy.” (Zachary B. Friedenberg, Medicine Under Sail, p. 53)“…James Lind, the first physician at Haslar [hospital], in which he summarized the cases admitted during his first two years, 1758-1760: Fevers 2,174 Scurvy 1,146 Consumptions 360 Rheumatisms 350 Fluxes 245 ____ Total 4,275 (Dr. Kathleen Harland, “Naval Medical Care 1620-1770 Saving the Seamen: Naval medical care in the Pre-Nelson era, 1620-1770,” J Royal Medical Service 2005, p. 77) For actual deaths occurring at sea during the GAoP, the most prominent killers seemed to be scurvy, followed by yellow fever, malaria and dysentery. In fact, I have not come across a single incident of death by lead poising yet. Although they may not have known to account for it that way.
