    Great film. And amazingly, it was much worse before Napoleon. The greatest military innovation of the era from 1754-1815 was the discovery of citrus as a prevention for scurvy. During the American Revolution, the British lost more sailors to scurvy than soldiers in batt.ehttps://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1102014736424673280 …

    watching MASTER AND COMMANDER and so far it pretty accurately shows how Napoleonic-era naval service was a death-filled nightmare

        If you liked M&C, check out the A&E Horatio Hornblower series. Really excellent.

        Or read the books. Reading the Patrick O'Brien novels, I discovered Aubrey had to learn calculus when he was 12. Makes me feel sad for my education, and that of kids today.

        The increased demand for citrus caused an economic boom in Sicily, which contributed to the formation of the Mafia.

        Too bad I’m blocked by @jbouie (no idea why). I’ll may never know the film. But I do think pundits who preemptively block misc people w 250 followers are chicken sh*t.

        Sauerkraut was used to get vitamin C and could stay longer than regular fruit.
