So /his/ i'm doing a project on ships in the 1700's

There were some cool ships but most of them sank thanks to pirates and stuff. I once saw a cool Spanish ship not sure what it was called but it looked cool.

Also, Black Flag was a decent game.

Can't tell if troll or just anachronistic .

I'm a ship's captain in early 1700's. How do I prevent scurvy among my crew?

By giving them gin and tonic or something else with vitamin C in em.

That or wait until the Englishmen discover lime prevents it.

Learn about the different potteries available, like the difference between faience and china

Pretty sure they discovered that lime prevents it before they started drinking tonic

It really bother me that normies cry out about the lack of pirate games and praise Black Flag to high heavens, and in the meanwhile games like the Sea Dogs series and Sid Meyer's Pirates is completely ignored despite being exactly what they want.

From what I understand, galleys remained in use throughout the 18th century in the Baltic Sea

Technically 1600s, but read up on the Vasa. It's a Swedish ship that sunk in the harbor and was raised and restored in modern times.
