Shipowners often prioritized cost-cutting measures, which led to the neglect of proper provisions for sailors, including fresh fruits and vegetables essential for preventing scurvy.

This lack of adequate nutrition directly contributed to the prevalence of scurvy among crews during long voyages, exacerbating health issues and reducing overall morale and productivity at sea.
