I have the landlocked blues and I need to know that being on a ship is miserable.

I have a few books on tall ships.¹ Even being the captain sucked, and the crew were little more than slaves. Pretty much any time during the few thousand years between when ships had to put in for the night because they hadn't figure out how to sail out of sight of land, and the development of diesel engines, being aboard ship was awful. But you knew that.

1: I recommend Last of the Cape Horners, assuming you haven't read it already.

Surely we have had some medical break throughs in treatment? Studies? Developments?
No.
