"HMS Salisbury"
50 guns, 960 tons May 1723: Salisbury was in Mocha and took on fresh water. In 1747 James Lind (b. 1716 Edinburgh) was surgeon on board HMS Salisbury. He carried out the first controlled and documented trials of treatment for scurvy on 12 patients. Scurvy could kill more than half a ship's crew during a long voyage due to poor diet with few opportunities to eat fresh vegetables or fruit. James Lind separated the 12 scurvy patients from the rest of the crew, and tried various remedies, including cider, nutmeg, vinegar, elixir of vitriol, mustard, balsam of Peru... which brought no improvements. He then gave two of the 12 scurvy patients two oranges and a lemon every day: and they both recovered quickly. Unfortunately it was not until 50 years later that the British Admiralty issued limes, or lime-juice, to sailors (hence the name 'limeys'). |
