The Age of Exploration, the iron rule that 'no women are allowed on board' was written with blood and tears. A group of energetic sailors drift for a long time, and the captain often exhausts their energy with meaningless labor, while the appearance of a woman is enough to collapse the entire order of the ship—at best, jealousy arises, at worst, internal strife ensues.
In 1519, aboard the 'Santa Margarita,' the bosun disguised his lover Ines as a boy to bring her on board. The storm soaked her binding corset, and the moment her curves were exposed, disaster was already inevitable. The helmsman Lopez, upon catching sight of her combing her hair under the moonlight, even stole the captain's red wine to curry favor, and the sweet wine was carefully wrapped in her headscarf.
The sailors quickly split: the Portuguese faction wanted to hand her over to the captain, while the Andalusian faction vowed to protect this 'Sea Madonna.' In the struggle for the right to deliver meals, the two factions clashed with knives in the kitchen, and fish blood mixed with human blood on the cutting board. Worse still, the astrolabe was tampered with, iron filings were found in the compass box, and someone even tried to lead the ship astray. It was not until the bosun went missing that people discovered a blood letter under his bunk—he planned to elope with Ines.
Such tragedies are not unique. In 1545, the British warship 'Mary Rose' capsized in front of Henry VIII, and survivors claimed there was a laundress disguised as a man aboard. The sailors invented duel methods like climbing the mast and walking the ropes for her, and ultimately the sailmaker 'accidentally' cut the main mast rigging, causing the king's favorite warship to sink to the seabed.
Captains have also tried to be flexible: the Spanish 'Treasure Fleet' brought nuns for blessings, but a sailor's nighttime intrusion into the nun's quarters nearly sparked a diplomatic dispute; the Portuguese brought mother goats, and three of them died within half a month; British captain Drake used the 'Maritime Olympics' to expend energy, and after competitions of bare-handed shark catching and swallowing live eels, no one had the heart to talk about romance anymore.
The most absurd incident was the Dutch 'Sea God' case. In 1672, a smuggler widow was discovered on board, and after the ship's doctor announced she was pregnant, over two hundred sailors boiled over, each calculating their own 'suspicion,' and even dueling three times over the child's surname. The crew established a 'Paternity Qualification Arbitration Committee' and recorded a thick roll of investigation documents, only to find that the child was born with Moorish ancestry—while the only dark-skinned sailor on board had already died of scurvy, the woman was already pregnant before departure.
Just like the response of an old captain in the 19th century: 'Kid, a cat won’t let twenty strong men dismantle the helm for it.' On the closed and oppressive angry sea vessel, the desires and conflicts carried by women are far deadlier than the wind and waves.
