  1. I'm still kind of new here. I didn't know he studies this so much and that it's his job. And how wonderful that there exist so many firsthand accounts! I am actually terrified of open water. I can't swim and am not eager to learn. But at the same time, I am fascinated by ships and sailing. It's doubly wild that I am watching this a day or so after the Doctor Who Classic episode called, "Enlightenment", which also had to do with sailing... of a sort. This was incredible! I'm supposed to be doing typing work but I took a little break and could not take my eyes off this video. Honestly, this just over 11 minute video is better than most full done productions from Hollywood. Amazing!

  4. Did they dip it in a drink of some kind? That sounds like you could break your teeth trying to chew it! It's amazing how people have lived in prior times. Makes us look like a bunch of wimps.

  5. I'm not a fan of peas or raisins. But he did make it look good. I would try it. And you know what? If I was stuck on a ship for months and had to live on crap food, that really would be a feast and I'd be grateful, LOL!
