   Would have loved to hear Burke lecture. Brilliant guy and funny, perfect prescription for a stand out professor.

   I just realized that if cargo jets somehow lost their cargo over a residential area the damage would be horrible. Your sitting at home and a container lands on you. Anyway I got to this to find out how big the actual crews were on wooden boats back in the day. Just watching a movie and realized how many people are working. In the movies there is no one sleeping. They work all the time. I know it’s a movie. But how many people were actually needed to man the sails 24 7. In the day.

   I’m not sure… look up Fluyt I guess. A quick search reveals about 10 total. But again, I’m not 100% sure.

    @krrrruptidsoless Taking specifically of Dutch fluits it rather depends on the type, since they varied depending on the sort of trade they were built for (eg. grain ships, timber ships, whalers, navy supply tenders etc etc). As an example; in 1640 Dutch fluits in the Norwegian timber trade had crews of 12 to 14 men. A French report of 1696 says(or rather “complains”) that they could get by on as few as 7 men when a comparable French ship would need at least 12 men.
