[eli5] What are the duties on board a ship while in port during the 17th/18th century?
In: Other
In the 17th and 18th centuries, when ships were in port, sailors had lots to do! They loaded and unloaded cargo, fixed anything that was broken, stocked up on supplies like food and water, scrubbed the ship clean, and got some well-deserved rest. It was a busy time, making sure the ship was ready for its next journey across the seas!
