          Abstract

          Resumen El objetivo del presente trabajo fue sintetizar los aspectos básicos de la vida a bordo de los marineros españoles del siglo XVI. Dado el tiempo que pasaban navegando, el barco era la verdadera residencia del marinero, residencia mejor o peor según el rango de la tripulación. Pero si la vida en el barco era dura, muchos de los embarcados estaban en la gloria si se comparaba con sus penurias en tierra, en el barco, al menos, se comía. Horas y horas de trabajo se paliaban con cierto ocio a base de juego, algunas lecturas religiosas y sexo a bordo, que también había. Naufragios, incendios, epidemias, batallas y otros sustos diversos entretenían a los intrépidos marineros, buscavidas de la época. Todo ello en medio de unas lamentables condiciones higiénico-sanitarias, eso sí, no mucho peores que las que se ofrecían en tierra firme.

          Abstract The objective of this study was to synthesize the basic aspects of the Spanish sailors´ life on board in the 16th century. Given the time they used to spend sailing, the ship was the sailors´ main residence, a better or worse “house” depending on the range of the crew. But if life on board was hard, many of those sailors were in glory when compared with their hardships on land, at least they could eat on the ship. To many hours of work were palliated with some leisure based on games, some religious readings and sex on board, which they also had. Shipwrecks, fires, epidemics, battles and other diverse scares “entertained” the intrepid sailors, a sort of hustlers of the time. All this in the midst of unfortunate hygienic-sanitary conditions, which were not much worse than those offered on the mainland.
