Captain James Cook

An interesting fact acbout Captain James Cook:

- Unlike most ships during the 17oo's, few of the crew on Cook's ships developed scurvey. Captain Cook kept his ship clean, and required the crew to eat fruit and vegetables when available. He also had carrot marmalade and sauer kraut on board when fruits and vegetables were not available. This made sure that they had sufficient vitamin C, which prevented most of the crew from developing scurvey.
