Sailors call long sea journeys by sea "Voyages"
Sailors in Tudor times often suffered from scurvy due to a lack of vitamin C in their diets during long sea voyages.

This was common on ships as fresh fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin C were not readily available for long periods at sea.

During the 18th and early 19th century, after long periods at sea, sailors were afflicted by a condition known as scurvy. It was eventually discovered that this condition was caused by a lack of vitamin C during long sea voyages. To cure the problem, British sailors were given a ration of limes. American sailors were amused by this and started calling the British sailors Limeys which quickly spread to British people in general.
