Scurvy is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which is essential for the synthesis of collagen and the maintenance of healthy connective tissues. A diet lacking in fruits and vegetables, particularly citrus fruits, bell peppers, and leafy greens, can lead to this deficiency. Symptoms of scurvy include fatigue, swollen gums, joint pain, and easy bruising. To prevent or treat scurvy, it is crucial to include adequate sources of vitamin C in the diet.

However, after departing from today's North Queensland, following necessary repairs to the Endeavour, many of the crew succumbed to dysentery and typhoid. Over thirty died at Batavia or on the return journey home via Cape Town, South Africa.
