Marbles were kept on ships as a form of ballast, helping to stabilize the vessel and improve its handling in rough seas. The weight of the marbles helped to lower the center of gravity, making the ship less prone to tipping. Additionally, marbles served as a valuable cargo item, as they were often used for trade. Their round shape and density made them effective for this dual purpose during maritime voyages.
