Or just possibly we don't man them like we used to.

Bligh's Bounty had a crew of 44...

This ship had 16...

And it was old...

The ship that has just sunk was some 50 years old,  Bligh's original

life of a wooden warship unless you take some pretty extreme measures
such as have been taken with Victory and Constitution.
