Sailors faced many challenges like a mega-storm that sink their ships and shallow coral reefs that sink their ships too.Sometimes very high winds cause the ship to turn directions making the ship to turn away from home. Also many crew members die from Scurvy, a disease caused from low vitamin C in your diet. Scurvy lowers the crew members giving a small crew.

Sailors faced the fact that pirates might attack or threaten to attack their ship even though the chances were not very high. There is also a chance that the crew on the ship might get a disease called scurvy. Scurvy is a disease that is caused when people have low vitamin C. This can make the sailers sick or even kill the sailors who are exploring.
