A fascinating project @ experiment.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Were sailors actually ship-shape–or were they truly a sickly bunch? Find out with us! We are replicating shipboard food using the exact ingredients and methods from the 17th century. Then, a transatlantic voyage is simulated by storing the food in casks and keeping them on Elissa<\/a>, <\/em>the 19th century tallship home-ported at Texas Seaport Museum, a project of The Galveston Historical Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The nutritional and microbiological data from this project will offer a glimpse into the unique food situation, health, and daily life of past sailors.<\/p>\n

Archaeologists:<\/strong> Grace Esther Tsai & Elizabeth Latham, Texas A&M University<\/p>\n
