You can get scurvy almost anywhere, especially where there are no supply of Oranges, grapefruits, etc. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin c, and was most common among sailors and pirates who were out at sea for long periods of time; without fresh citrus fruits. Later on they discovered this, and pirates stated to put a small portion of their money towards citrus.
