We should consume about 2.7 liters a day, right? So how did they get all that water on the ship to last them for weeks at sea?
An example: Columbus sailed 10 weeks with 90 men on three ships. I have a hard time imagining room for both liquids and food. And especially would they have loaded up with other cargo?
Bonus question: What liquids was it?
Thankful for any responses :-)
They carried a lot of water and also alcoholic beverages, stored in barrels, casks, jars in the hold. It was raitoned and each stop they would resupply (stopping for watering was common).
I've answered a similar question about water supplies which I thinik will be very useful to you
