Tudor ships were HUGE things and are tricky to handle as you were on the edge of dying, and it was hard to steer the boat because the boat goes the opposite way. The sailors kept cats on board to catch the rats, and if all the food has gone, and all the rats, the cat goes aswell. The most deadlyest illness was scurvy, they got this because they did not eat any vitamin c. Their teeth fell out, so they could not eat anything. Their gums went black and they had blisters all over their legs. The ships were made light so they could easyly get put in the water, and they put rocks and stones in the keel to keep the boat afloat.They would find new lands and raid countrys for treasures. I hope I answered your question!
