Reporters, academics....make up stuff all the time, yes. Yes, they do. Now....maybe in this case they’re dead accurate. Maybe, in the 18th century, they could build and sail a ship capable of carrying 1000 men along with provisions, supplies, etc., for more than a day cruise. Maybe so.

Still ain’t buying it.

Academy grad. Aircraft commander. These facts about 19th century crew size are easily verifiable. Do yourself a favor: carry out five minutes of research and then back away from your position with your dignity relatively intact.
